Short Bio: Craig’s artistic journey began with an abundance of sketched doodles, which steadily developed into an impressive catalog of vibrant, fantastically painted worlds. Over time, his creative efforts have resulted in numerous art exhibits, a written, designed, and self-published ArtStory book with another forthcoming, a compelling photography portfolio, and a collection of more than 130 YouTube created and posted art videos. Creative Process and Style Craig’s extensive body of work is a testament to a whimsical yet meticulous creative process. His approach starts with the formation of abstract geometric and organic shapes, which he then skillfully embellishes with his distinctive personal touch, infusing each piece with what can only be described as “pure Craig-ness.” Technical Foundations and Imaginative Scenes His early training as a draftsman is clearly reflected in the precision of his illustrations. Craig’s imaginative mind invites viewers into his uniquely whimsical watercolor and oil-painted scenes, each characterized by both technical excellence and playful creativity. Educational Contributions and Personality As a past art educator of 5 years, Craig seamlessly integrates his brief teaching experience into his numerous approachable YouTube ‘Art Stuff’ videos. These are consistently infused with his trademark quirkiness and a dry sense of humor, making art subject matter both accessible and enjoyable for his audience.
