Biography
Stephen Gregory (b. Manchester, UK 1951) studied at Newcastle University; Manchester Polytechnic and at Goldsmiths' College, London. He was an artist in residence in Milton Keynes in 1977-79 where the subject matter of his work derived from an interest in the forms, shapes and shadows of construction sites and heavy industry and the development of the new city provided him with many suitable images. Gregory was involved in community arts for several years; an artist-facilitator for the concerns and aspirations of many different community groups such as Northampton, Cheshire and Nottingham. He later moved to the north-east of England and managed the decommissioned lighthouse in Whitley Bay as an educational resource and visitor attraction. He now lives on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.
