A Pittsburgh native, Craig has been creating art for the last 39 years. Living on Maui for the past 15 years, his inspiration has come from the beauty of the island. As a veteran tattoo artist, one of the first in the city, he wanted to expand his creativity and he found opportunity working with metal. This new medium gives Craig the chance to create his exceptional, Hawaii inspired art in raw form. Metal provides movement and depth unlike any other canvas. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and no two can be exactly alike which makes each valuable, unique and special.
Now a part time resident in both, traveling between Pittsburgh and Maui will allow fresh ideas and creativity to flow.
His art is featured in several prestigious galleries.
The difference in the metal work that Craig does is that the image holds up without any paint. You can see the different textures and shadowing without much need for any pigments. The metal is Craig's medium and his canvas. His art is unique to any other metal art because they are completely ground in and sometimes enhanced by paints.
