In Gregory’s own words: “I am an art director and oil painter, focussing on maritime subjects both contemporary and historical. The sea is an ever-changing subject, and being based in Southampton I’m surrounded by a diverse maritime scene encompassing the UK’s largest cruise terminal and the famous sailing waters of the Solent. My pictures have been shown in exhibitions of the Royal Society of Marine Artists and won the RSMA’s New Generation award, and I have work in the collection of Tracy Edwards MBE. Marine painting is an ancient art: the sea and those tiny vessels upon it are a powerful and ever-relevant allegory”.
