Gregory Kammer works from his studio on Marrowstone Island near Port Townsend, Washington, at the edge of the Salish Sea. Working across intaglio printmaking, painting, and sculpture, he takes as his subject the working landscape of the Pacific Northwest and the individuals who give it shape — the farmer, the ferry rider, the boatyard hand, the shipman, each rendered not as a type but as a particular person with a particular history. Kammer’s work is fundamentally narrative: each piece functions less as a single fixed image than as one frame within a larger sequence, borrowing from the logic of the storyboard to suggest a life unfolding before and after the moment depicted. His is a landscape defined less by scenery than by labor and story — the accumulated evidence of people working, and being shaped by, weather and tide.

Kammer holds a BA and MFA from the University of Washington and an MA in Art History from the University of New Mexico. His work has appeared in solo exhibitions at the University of the Pacific, the Russell Day Gallery, and the Jansen Art Center, and in group exhibitions at the Frye Art Museum, the Henry Art Gallery, and the Primitive Image Gallery. His work is held in private collections, including Aichi Toho University in Tokyo.
