Gregory Smith

Gregory Smith is a marine artist specialising in historical maritime subjects, with a particular focus on the Age of Sail and maritime exploration. His work has been exhibited with the Royal Society of Marine Artists and through Marine Artists Gallery, winning multiple awards including the RSMA New Generation Award.

In 2023, he was part of the Ocean Globe Race village in Southampton, where his paintings were acquired by sailors including Tracy Edwards and Marco Trombetti. His subjects range from Nelson's era warships and Pacific exploration vessels to modern yachts and aviation subjects.

Working primarily in oils, Gregory combines meticulous historical research with a painterly approach. His current work on exploration vessels captures not only the ships themselves, but the dramatic landscapes they encountered.
