Gilroy Fine Art & Woodworks

Tropical Gallery

Two Artists Who Love Nature, Artistry and Wood

We bring to you a collection of southwest nature paintings and also handcrafted, painted wood furniture and decorative wood accessories by artists, Betty Gilroy and Harris Gilroy. Our paintings are primarily of California; the American Desert Southwest, tropical regions of North America and the Caribbean.

Currently we have four online Art Galleries with tropical beach and palm tree paintings, flower and hummingbird paintings, desert paintings and painted wood furnishings.

Our studio is in Southern California just north of beautiful San Diego. With such a diverse landscape of deserts, palm trees, beaches, ocean, rolling hills, mountains and a remarkable array of flowers, our inspiration for creating art comes easy to us.

We've been working together as artists and have been married for over 20 years, combining our talents and love of nature to create fine art paintings and fine art wood furnishings. We enjoy working as a couple and are thankful for the artistic abilities we have. 

We hope you enjoy your visit.

Tropical Gallery

Betty's tropical southwest nature paintings are of colorful warm sunsets with palm trees, California beaches, California night skies and beautiful tropical landscapes. 

The rich color of her sunsets silhouette the various palm trees that grow in the American Southwest, particularly Southern California.  With camera always in reach, Betty photographs her subjects where ever she may be at the time.  Some of her most popular paintings were designed from tropical trees, plants and sunsets seen from right in her back yard in North San Diego county. 

Flower Gallery

Inspiration to paint comes easy in Southern California.  Exotic flowers grow and bloom all year long here and the variety is in abundance.  Bird's Of Paradise, Amaryllis, Epiphyllum, Cereus, Bougainvillea just to name a few, are seen everywhere and their colorful nature calls to the canvas to be painted.

Betty creates her flower paintings with patience and detail so she reflects the flower's incredible beauty and character. Often times, where there are flowers there will be Nature's creatures.  Hummingbirds, song birds, blue jays, bees, butterflies and  the like are a part of her design and inspiration.

Desert Gallery

When the Gilroy's discovered the Anza Borrego Desert it took their breath away.  Having grown up elsewhere, never did they imagine that the desert could be such a wondrous and beautiful place.

When Betty paints the desert, her heart is in it.  To get the true character of her arid subject, the Gilroy's go camping in the Borrego wilderness, hiking and searching for the often times over looked beauty not seen from a distance.

The detail and realistic character of her desert paintings allow those who have never been there, to see how the desert is a place filled with hidden treasures of nature.
