Although he was born in Joliet, Illinois, September 20, 1957, my husband lives in San Pancho, Mexico now and I cannot resist giving him props for being a great metal sculptor!! Craig received no formal art training, but went to trade school for welding. After fine tuning his craft in various metal shops, including a traditional Mexican style Ornamental Iron shop in Albuquerque, NM, Craig opened his own fab shop in Page, AZ nearly 20 years ago. There, in his "spare time", he began to create metal sculptures, usually using found metal objects and rusted iron.
His primary themes have revolved around old school western wear, southwestern plants, and animals. He also draws from Native American images and icons. More recently he has created custom "Artistic Bikes" functional as well as non-functional, one of which I will include today...
