From Greg: “The work included in this is indicative of my creative journey over the last 25 years. It represents a major shift in style, color theory, and thematic development. When I look at this volume of work, I am reminded of a quote, “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” Up until 1999 I was greatly influenced by Salvador Dali and the Surrealists. During the late 1990’s, while living in Lithuania, I was also influenced by the Catholic church and Old World icons and altar pieces. “Ghosts of Infertility” documents our struggles to conceive a child and came at a time of scientific discovery and technological advancement. We successfully cloned the first sheep, digital television promised a new way of seeing things, LIFE ON MARS!!! And yet we continue to cling to our cultural heritage and superstitions in times of crisis.

The first few years of raising a child are some of the happiest, most trying times of family life. The death of a child brings on the darkest, most trying times of family life. “Mother and Child” from 2000, and from 2000 – 2002 the first three of the “Muses” tryptic, were some of the happiest times for our young family. When tragedy struck in spring 2002 my work took on a shift in thematic development, exploring subjects like dreaming, the after-life, and alternate planes of existence. Then, in 2020, COVID happened, which changed everything all over again. As you view my artwork, take the time to look deeper into the paintings in order to connect on a more visceral level with the images and your own family life experiences. I hope you enjoy my art and, if you wish, please leave your thoughts in a message in my guest book.”
