Greg’s painting is a means of meditation for him and a vehicle for contemplation for us. It is a literal expression of “being in” nature. “There is a wave in the landscape,” he explains, “where the movement is behind our eyes and before our eyes in lines, shapes, forms and color. It is in our memories and in the memories of all there is, and contains the symbols of a universal language that lay deep within our collective unconscious. I have seen these symbols in my paintings during and often after creating them. “My paintings move with the forces of nature – the streams, mountains, astrology, technology, thoughts, yoga, actions, energy, self, lunch – and culminate in the realization that everything is the wave. “I believe that nature calls to each of us to step out/into of ourselves and to identify and revel with it, amid the waves. Doing this can transform our awareness into an energy greater than our own understanding.”
