Greg Aragon's Gyotaku artwork is simply spectacular. Greg has mastered this ancient technique of fish rubbing, creating his images for all to enjoy. Some 25 years ago, Greg viewed a Gyotaku painting in a small gallery in Florida, fell in love with the art, mastered the technique -- and the rest is history.

Greg Aragon has been a licenced Captain for 20 years. When he was twelve his family moved to Tampa, Florida where he began fresh water fishing in the Tampa Lakes and salt water fishing off the Indian Rocks Pier. Under the influence of his Cuban born Father, Captian Greg became hooked on fishing at a very young age! Many of his tournament winning catches have become fully appreciated due to Gyotaku.

 The artwork of Greg Aragon may now be seen in many Florida galleries and locations such as the "spectacular" Salt Rock Grille in Indian Shores. He is also represented in private collections nationally as well as in Paris and London.
