Craig Crawford
Craig Crawford first became interested in painting through his grandfather, himself a painter and an architect. He attended the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts at Furman University and graduated from the University of South Carolina. He then trained in the field of Painting Conservation with Charles Olin, former head of Painting Conservation at the Smithsonian Museum and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. During his eight year apprenticeship, Crawford spent endless hours studying paintings, particularly American Landscape Paintings and the French Barbizon School, and learning how they were made. He generally works from oil sketches done on location as well as digital images. Crawford paints in a straightforward traditional manner, and his paintings are infused with the light and shadows of the South. His paintings are often mistaken for 19th Century works, a strong tribute to his study and mastery of the craft. Sold works: |
