Gregory Scheckler comes from a family of Wisconsin German-Americans, including doctors, musicians, vaudeville stage managers and artists. At the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, he serves as Associate Professor of Visual Art. He teaches drawing, painting, photography, and composition for the visual arts, from a progressive and yet classical viewpoint.
At the end of September 2011 he will celebrate his 100th career art exhibit with a solo show Remixed Messages at Gallery 51 in North Adams, Massachusetts.
He is married to the artist Laura Christensen. Both are avid telemark skiers, and enjoy hiking too. Residing in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, they provide a home for two lovely cats Jupiter and Masaccio.
