My background is in realism, with an expertise in traditional oil portraits. As I evolved as an artist, I began to see the world through a new and exciting lens. I discovered that I could apply the traditional techniques that I was trained in, which at times felt constrictive, and learned to enjoy the playfulness of creating large format abstract concepts. My Crossroads Collection is inspired from patterns, textures and colors that exist in nature, combined with color palettes that represent my love for mid-century and modern design

Whether he's working in the studio on a portrait commission or enjoying a beautiful day of painting en plein air, Craig's paintings embrace the spirit and energy of his subjects. While he paints primarily in oils, he is equally at home creating lifelike sketches in pencil.
Craig has been painting and drawing portraits of corporate executives, men, women, children and family pets since graduating from Parsons School of Design in 1983. The pages above represent just a tiny sampling of Craig's work.
