GREG SCHAEFER, sculptor

GREG SCHAEFER, a self taught artist who lives and works in San Diego, was born in Rochester, New York. He spent his childhood in Silver Spring ,Maryland, reading encyclopedias, collecting rocks and studying relief maps. He was and still is obsessed with the outdoors and watching everything science fiction related. He was particularly excited by electron microscope images that his father, a photographer at the National Institutes of Health, would bring home. These influences on his early childhood have become an important source of inspiration for his artwork.

Greg’s sculptural work has been exhibited at Ashton Gallery, The Poway Performing Arts Center, Escondido Arts Partnership Municipal Gallery, Visual Gallery, San Diego, Mesa College Art Gallery, the Porto Vista Hotel, The Martha Pace Swift Gallery and many pop-up and short term exhibitions in the San Diego area.
