Born and raised in central Illinois, Greg Bordignon grew up fishing and hunting the streams and fields just south of Springfield.

In 1977 Greg moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to pursue his B.A. degree in fine arts at Mt. Mercy College. That same year he started working as an artist at the Jym Bag Company. After graduating in 1981, he became art director, where he remains today. His outdoor art appears under the trade name, North American Outfitters, on hundreds of thousands of t-shirts and sweatshirts all across the country.

Greg began painting wildlife art in 1992. His work has appeared on the covers of the 1992 and 1994 Iowa hunting and trapping rules and regulations, and inside the Iowa Conservationist Magazine.

Greg Bordignon's passion for hunting, fishing, and the outdoors has driven him to support the efforts of conservation organizations around the Midwest. These groups include; Pheasants Forever, Ducks Unlimited, Whitetails Unlimited, Waterfowl USA, National Wild Turkey Federation, Quail Unlimited, Trout Unlimited, and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.
