Gregory Gorham lives in Vancouver WA and has a small small beach house in Ocean Park WA, on the Long Beach Peninsula. He was born and raised in Northern Michigan with its varied types of forested lands, ponds, lakes, and rivers. The memories of paper birches and evergreen trees of those landscapes along with lakeside villages, docks, and harbors of its lakes continue to be an inspiration for his artworks. He now resides in the Pacific Northwest, where he continues to draw upon the similar beauties and thriving landscapes. His time is currently spent exploring and seeking subjects for his paintings, such as the fishing communities like Ilwaco on the Long beach Peninsula and Astoria on the Columbia River. His paintings and drawings of harbors, fishing vessels, marshes, and other watery subjects have been influenced by that fact. His use of vibrant colors in his newest works is a result of wanting to instill a sense of joy in his arts viewers.
