Dan Craig

Daniel Craig was born in 1957 in Mankato MN. At the age of 20, he traveled eighty miles north to begin his formal art education at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Here, for the first time, he devoted all his creative energies to painting and drawing. Inspired by his love for the Old Masters, he began to develop a unique painting style he describes as “Natural Idealism.”

“I create in my pictures a world not entirely real, yet tied to the natural world, where form are perfect, light imbued with magic, but all still within our realm if reality. With one foot in each door, I create a space I love to be in.”
