Craig was born and raised in New York, spent summers on Lake Sunapee in NH, lived for awhile in the mid-west, spent nearly 30 years in New England and moved to Tampa in 2008. After receiving his degree from Middlebury College, VT, Craig found himself in the world of professional photography and moved away from painting for many years. Wherever he traveled throughout the United States, he always took his camera and captured thousands of images, gathering source material for paintings. In the last decade and a half he returned to painting once again, and the photographs he created have come to life in his rich, evocative pieces. Using classic techniques of under-painting and glazing, Craig’s work is moody and thoughtful. Among others, painters Edward Hopper and Robert Bechtle have influenced his work.

'Throughout over 30 years as a professional photographer, I have captured a wide variety of man-made landscapes through the lens of a camera. In recent years, many of these images have been the inspiration for paintings, where the hand and eye create the light, better than camera and lens.'
