It features portraits of historical, contemporary & cinematic figures who inspire us to think, act, serve, give & lead. The collection has been on exhibit locally, nationally & internationally, and featured in publications like Art World News.  His other collections are known as The Art of Nothing and Rejection Art. At times, he has been asked to speak about art at a school, museum or event. For instance, he delivered the 2008 Legacy Lecture at the SAJ Museum in Africa and 2011 Convocation at Fisher College.  At a function in Canada, Greg received the Portraits in Humanity Award.  It is given to someone who has 'used the arts to make a difference'.  On the civic side, Greg's foundation has provided scholarships for college students with a focus on architecture & design.  It also has funded a variety of grants for elementary, middle & high schools & nonprofit organizations -- to fund the purchase of art supplies for their students.

His art is happily non-partisan)
