Biography

Gregory Albright was born in California in 1959. His interest in observing the natural world, coupled with his curiosity for how things work led him to explore both science and art. Not until his second year, at Humboldt State College, did he begin to show the drawings he had previously kept secret. After a year working at the Craft Center on the UC Davis Campus, he moved to attend the San Francisco Art Institute. There he took a BFA in Filmmaking. The following year, Greg learned printmaking at San Francisco State. Greg explored a variety of jobs: gardener, waiter, design assistant, software buyer, crab-fisherman, door maker, tile setter, home re-modeler, and beekeeper. In 1986, he married June Blocklinger. Together they have three Children, Aurisha, Jasper, and Micaela. He and his family moved to Vermont as founding teachers at the Upper Valley Waldorf School in 1992. He completed graduate work at Antioch New England and received his Waldorf Teaching Certificate. Greg worked as a class teacher there for 12 years. Greg continues to teach lively art classes in various disciplines to students and adults in many settings. In 2004 Greg began to focus more on painting and the exhibition of his artwork. He founded a home renovation company to support his family and provide flexibility in his schedule for pursuing art. During the 2005-06 year he designed and built a house, “Lilac Lane”. In 2008, he began a tower addition to his shop and studio, still in process. He maintains a studio in North Hartland, Vermont.
