Greg
has been exposed to the outdoors since childhood. In his teenage
years he began exercising his natural talent to draw wildlife with
pen and ink.
In 1984 he was awarded Honorable Mention and Third in the Chrysler
Search for Canadian Wildlife Artists. This offered the encouragement
he needed as these were awarded to his first works.
Throughout Greg's art career he's been very consistent in donating
to fundraisers and auctions. The focus of these events, are the
needs of children and/or wildlife preservation projects. They include
the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, The Child Development
Center in Prince George, The Kenya Wildlife Fund, British Columbia
Wildlife Federation, among others.
Greg moved from Ontario to British Columbia in 1992. It was here
that he perfected his Pointillism technique. In 1994 he drew the
last line found in any of his drawings. Greg has found some of
his greatest satisfaction in Pointillism and the use of pen and
ink. The Eagle on the first page, Freedom of Flight IV, was his
last limited edition released in 1996.
You can now find Greg usually confined to his carving shed or working on Bird's Paradise. It's here he illustrates his innovation and love of the outdoors to bring you works of art like never seen before. He invites you to contact him as he enjoys discussing
his work with others.
