Gregory Robison has sketched, drawn and painted for most of his life.  He took the basic drawing course at the École des Beaux Arts in Nantes, France, and studied for several years in the atelier of Kate Downie, RSA, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Mostly, though, he simply draws wherever he is and whenever he can. As a solitary practice requiring patience and humility — and best undertaken in silence — Greg also treats sketching as a sort of spiritual exercise, a complement to meditation.
