In the early 1990's Greg began to work with oils and attended the Royal Art Society in Kirrabilly studying portrature. Entering many competitions with and winning various awards through out Australia. Greg has won awards both nationally and internationally.

Recently Greg's love of animals especially dogs, was inspired when his 10 year old daughter Chloe, asked him to paint a portrait of "Waffle", a spritely little maltese shitzu cross, their family pet. Then the whole idea of doing this for other pet lovers sprang to life and My Pet Painted was born.
