About the Artist
Hello - I'm Craig. For the past 21 years, I’ve been creating artwork that preserves and honors military history. Each piece is more than just a picture—it’s a complete story. Through my work,I aim to allow visitors to visualize the history in the art, read the details behind the caption, and even connect with the past by touching the authentic relics.
My passion for aviation and history started early. Growing up at the Reno Air Races each year, I had the incredible opportunity to meet legends like Pappy Boyington, Mike Kawato, and Bob Hoover. These experiences sparked a lifelong respect for those who served and a commitment to preserving their stories through art.
Over the Years
I’ve had the privilege of working with aviation icons such as Medal of Honor Recipient Jim Swett, Chuck Yeager, Bud Anderson, Dean Caswell, and Brian Shul. One of my most meaningful projects was being selected to create the memorial for the Tuskegee Airmen at the Walterboro, South Carolina Army Airfield, a tribute to their courage and legacy.
I also work extensively on commissioned artwork, helping families, collectors, and organizations tell the personal stories of those who served. These commissions are deeply meaningful, ensuring that the legacies of our heroes live on for future generations.
The Art
Each piece I create is a blend of authentic relics, detailed research, and meaningful storytelling. I carefully source relics from museums, restoration shops, and veteran organizations to ensure they are genuine and historically significant. My goal is to make history tangible, bringing the stories of our heroes to life in a way that inspires and connects.
Thank you for taking the time to explore my work. Whether you’re drawn to the art, the stories, or the history itself, I hope these pieces resonate with you and keep the legacy of these brave heroes alive. Thanks for being a part of this journey.
