Greg grew up in Lilydale and attended Croydon High School from 1962 – 1968. In his senior years his interest in the visual arts began to emerge under the influence of a faithful Art Teacher called “Mrs Thompson” – who gave him encouragement (and the run of the art wing.) 

He completed a Diploma in Fine Arts (ART AND DESIGN) in 1970, majoring in painting and printmaking. Major influences at this stage were Fred Williams, Vincent Van Gogh and others. During this period Greg developed his passion for the Australian landscape.

In 1972 he married Sharon, his major critic, encourager, and for many years, financial supporter.

He has held exhibitions of his work on a number of occasions and in a variety of locales:

1973 – Hawthorn City Art Gallery – Exiting Student Group Exhibition
