Gregory typically paints from various photographs of anonymous urban street scenes but often introduces an underlying theme not recognized at first glance. These carefully selected scenes can be of ordinary people, from movies, and music, or places within the urban landscape that can evoke a feeling of remembrance. Often, he adds people from his life into the painting or a reference that personally connects him to the scene. Gregory challenges himself to not only portray a photograph in paint but to have the observer reminisce about a point in time from their own lives.
