Craig Alan
Born in 1971 in San Bernardino, California, Craig Alan’s innate artistic talent lay
dormant until his sophomore year at the University of Mobile, Alabama when
Craig formally began to train in art. His talent was immediately apparent and he
continued to concentrate in studio arts, earning an area award for academic
excellence. “Art with a Southern Drawl,” the university’s most prestigious
exhibition, featured 42 of Craig’s pieces out of more than 1,600 submissions.
Craig also minored in theater which provided him with additional makeup and
set design techniques. This expertise supported his exploration of mixed media
constructions which he combined with his other skills to produce elaborate
compositions, textures, and hues to reveal technical sophistication as well as a rich
imagination. Always looking for ways to link contemporary expressions to
traditional art, Craig travels to Europe in search of artistic artifacts to provide
innovative ideas. Craig continues to spend his time traveling searching for new
inspirations and continues to exhibit his artwork across the United States.
