Faces of the GV | Greg Beckenham

What do you do with yourself?

I am a gallery guide and am also an artist myself.

What hobbies do you have?

I do portraits of loved ones with a palette knife, which is sort of like sculpture paintings. I paint and I do little time-lapse videos of the portraits with a message. Most of them have got messages. Those send a lovely message, and I’ll put that before I paint over the message and do a time-lapse video.

What is your favourite part about the Goulburn Valley?

I like the location, the four seasons we get here, and the wide variety of people we get here from different countries.

If you could give your younger self a piece of advice, what would it be?

Just (do) what I’ve done in life. Keep it the same.
