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.
