About the Artist
Craig has a deep love for the outdoors, spending most of his free time climbing, ​paddling and hiking.  This love is reflected in the essence of his paintings. His paintings are in oils reflecting a style influenced by French and American Impressionist like Monet and Fredrick Church. He is the founding member of Triad Outdoor Painters a group of local artists in the NC Piedmont and Foothills. He is also an "Artist In Residence" at the Arts Place in Danbury, NC. He  lives in Winston-Salem creating landscapes from the many beautiful scenes in the foothills both in plein air and in the studio.
He also accepts commissions for portraiture

Artist's Statement-
My inspiration comes from the beauty of the world around us. Woodland streams, grand mountain lakes, clouded skies, all speak to the grandeur of creation that give me a personal sense of peace and motivate me to attempt to capture something of its essence. Above all is the inspiration of light that creates beauty on everything it touches whether it be a crashing ocean wave or the light on an upturned face. 
As I seek to improve my personal skills in capturing this beauty I also find a great deal of joy in sharing these insights with students. It is through this process of receiving the flow of this beauty and pouring it into the lives of others that I find fulfillment in life.
