Greg Wyatt is an American representational sculptor who works primarily in cast bronze,[1] and is the sculptor-in-residence at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in New York City.[2]

Wyatt was born in Nyack, New York and raised in Grand View-on-Hudson, New York. His father was William Stanley Wyatt, a painter and professor of fine arts at Columbia University, Rockland Community College and the City College of New York.[1] Greg Wyatt graduated from Columbia College of Columbia University in 1971 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History.[1] He also attended the National Academy of Design for three years, where he studied figurative sculpture, and received his certificate in sculpture, and earned a master's degree in Ceramic Arts from Columbia Teachers College in 1974.[1] Wyatt has taught at New York University and at Jersey City State College.[3][4] He is currently a member of the Board of Directors at The American College of the Mediterranean in Aix-en-Provence, France. He is also a member of the Board at Brookgreen Gardens.

Wyatt bases his work on the philosophy of "spiritual realism,"[4] merging realistic images and abstract masses of form, space and energy.[5] Professor Sir Stanley Wells, a renowned Shakespearian scholar and emeritus chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, says, "I compare Wyatt to Rodin. He's that good."[6] "Wyatt emulates the sculpture of the western world with contemporary vision."[3] His works have been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Harvard University, and Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site, among other institutions and collections,[5] and can be seen in more than 20 public spaces in cities from New York to Beijing.

Wyatt has made many corporate commissions, including a bronze statue of J.C. Penney founder James Cash Penney which weighs 3 tons and cost $250,000.[6]
