He now lives with his family in Nailsworth in Gloucestershire, and teaches stone carving at Ruskin Mill Education Centre. He has produced various theme exhibitions, notable 'Paintings from Ann Frank', 'The Catacombs' and 'Lady Lyre'. Greg combines his skills as an artist with the work of writers and poets to create wonderfully illustrated books.
For Anne Frank contains a wonderful and touching series of paintings By Greg inspired by the story of Anne Frank and in turn they have inspired the choreographer Avis von Herder to create 'A dance for Anne Frank', the composer Colin Decio to write the trio for piano, cello and violin 'Het Achterhuis' - and the poet Nick Naydler to write a sequence of poems that occupy them in this book.
The Catacomes contains Paintings by Greg Tricker and text by local sculptor and stained glass artist Johannes Steuck. The paintings and stone carvings with accompanying text are centered around early christianity and are inspired by the wall paintings in the catacombs, the ancient christian chambers found beneath Rome dating 1st-3rd century AD. "Not since the paintings of Cecil Collins have i seen work that captures so poignantly the essential purity and innocence of human being. The holy fool is, Thank heaven, alive and well in the hands of Greg Tricker." Jonathan Stedall 1999
