William Burroughs said "What do artists do? We dream for other people." "I guess this is one of my goals--to create dreams. My work has been called childlike, and I think most of us really long for the good things of childhood. We never really outgrow them, we only pretend we do. ""Museums and books filled with paintings were my teachers. I studied every painter from Giotto to Giacometti. I immersed myself in their methods. In that sense, I am self educated, but taught by the masters."

Most of Craig's creative life was spent performing music and writing songs. He has worked as a professional musician for years playing solo with guitar and harmonica.
"I love music, but right now my creative energy is intensely focused on my paintings. Music sleeps while I'm in the other room painting like a madman." "I like to show the tension of the moment just before or just after something has occurred between people, animals or entities. I also aim to show the undercurrent and causes that might otherwise go unseen. In doing all this, I hope to give the viewer occasion to pause, to think.. and perhaps, to smile." |
