Steve is a wonderful instructor in the North Shore area, talented in many a medium. He is well known for his wildlife paintings and animal studies.

Greco quotes "As an artist and a naturalist, I believe that the natural world deserves mankind's total attention and compassion in its 'Eleventh Hour'. We are at a crossroads concerning our environment and change must come from within each individual. There are no neutral parties in my opinion. We are all part of the problem, therefore we must all be part of the solution. It is our responsibility to inform, educate and administer cures to the environmental disasters that besiege us. We must present the ecology of the planet as 'Personal' to first, as well as third, world countries that partake of the Earth's bounty. It must be presented in a manner which makes sense to people." 

Greco has participated in many prestigious shows including the National Wildlife Art show in Washington, D.C., and have sat on the board of directors of the Nature Arts Organization. He has studied with famous wildlife artist, Robert Bateman.
