visual art

Picture
Greg has created three collections of visual art - one with images, one with objects and one with words.  The primary collection -- the one with images -- is known as My Sleepless Nights. His art has been on exhibit at local, national & international events & featured in publications like Art World News.  At a function in Canada, he received the Portraits in Humanity Award - given to someone who has 'used the Arts to make a difference'. The books based on his story (The First Thirty and The Silhouette Man) include a focus on Art & its influence on his path through life & his efforts to make a difference. Art-related organizations (i.e. Redmond Art Works) have ordered the books &/or the Legacy Posters for teachers &/or students in their communities.  Greg has written articles about art-related topics (i.e. a magazine article about a new art exhibit at a museum). He has been invited to speak about art, creativity, ideas, innovation & thinking methodologies at events & schools in different countries. He also has been invited to speak at annual art-related events in the U.S. (i.e. keynote speaker at the Self-Employment in the Arts Conference (see page 4 of this link) & elsewhere (i.e. Legacy Lecture at a museum in Africa).
