A fascination with the Old Masters led Gressie to discover the technicalities of painting, discovering rare pigments and recipes for his paint. Nowadays Gressie can look back to an impressive catalogue of work within a bizarre fantasy world and a whole variety of strange little creatures. Colourful, sparkling and playful are words often used to describe his fantastical work. Humour executed with academic skill and precision. Having seen a painting by him once, one will always be able to recognise his style.
