Gregory Scheckler lives in the Northern Berkshires of Massachusetts. His artworks have been in over a hundred local, national and international exhibits, including with the One West Art Center, the Bennington Museum, the Berkshire Museum, the Center for the Visual Arts Gallery at Illinois State University, and the National Science Foundation. He earned degrees from the University of Notre Dame (1990), Washington University in St. Louis (1992), and Utah State University (1996). He also accomplished graduate studies at the New York Academy of Art (1993), and studied at the University of Innsbruck, Austria (1987-88). In addition, he is a proud graduate of science fiction short story and novel writing workshops through the Ad Astra SF Institute, as well as the legendary Clarion West Writer’s Workshop (2018). At MCLA, he teaches drawing and painting. He envisions the arts as survival strategies, playgrounds, vivid storytelling, rich ways of thinking, and core functions of our humanity. When he’s not artmaking or teaching, he skis, hikes and bikes the Berkshires with his wife the artist Laura Christensen. He enjoys playing drums, and tending their solar-powered home.
