Greg Dawson latest exhibition at The Carlton Gallery.

Greg Dawson has been passionate about painting since childhood.

As a teenager, he joined the Wainuiomata Art Society (WAS), where he deepened his understanding of artistic techniques under the guidance of experienced members.

Though life and professional pursuits led him away from regular painting, his creative spirit remained strong. While living in Auckland, Greg continued his artistic journey at Whitecliff Art School as a social painter.

In 2000, he relocated to the Bay of Plenty and has called Katikati home for the past 11 years. Retirement provided him with the time and freedom to fully embrace his art once more, allowing him to explore and refine his approach to painting.
Greg follows three guiding principles in his work: (1) Know what you like, (2) Know why you like it and (3) Do it.

Although it is often said that "there are no rules in art," Greg believes it is more accurate to think of rules as "truths"—fundamental lessons in perspective, colour theory, and composition, discovered and mastered by the great artists of history. While these truths can be challenged, they should never be ignored without understanding their significance.

Inspired by the beauty of Katikati, Greg finds endless subjects to paint, from its stunning landscapes and mountain views to its vibrant townscapes and ever-changing coastal tones, his work reflects the rich colours and dynamic atmosphere of the region.

This exhibition marks Greg’s first public showcase, and he hopes it will be just the beginning. The goal is simple: to share his passion for painting and inspire others to see the world through the artist’s eye.
