Biography:
My name is Greg Salt, I started painting when I was very young and have continued to paint throughout my life. I also do wood carving, 3D objects that are cast in Bronze and artefacts for sale to tourists visiting Mossman Gorge.
I work four days per week at the Art Shed in Mossman Gorge and am keen to continue developing my art making skills. I have taken part in many workshops including printmaking (screen printing, monoprinting and etching) wood carving, ceramics and textiles.
My artwork is inspired by stories told by my Elders. It has been exhibited in the Yalanji Dreamtime Galley at Mossman Gorge and at the 2011 Cairns Indigenous Art Fair.
