Florence S. Craig Fine Art

Hello and welcome to my artistic world! I am a young Minnesota artist with a passion for all things nature, life, and light, and with a deep desire to spread hope and love.

I draw from my dual degrees in Studio Art and Art History to infuse my work with echoes of different artistic eras, creating a symphony of the old and the new. I am particularly inspired by East Asian watercolor painting, Medieval manuscript illumination, global calligraphy traditions, Gothic stained glass, and botanical illustration.

I work primarily in transparent watercolor because I am in love with the wildness of this unique medium. Watercolor is notoriously difficult to control—a fact that makes it especially appealing to me. The art of watercolor painting is like an exhilarating dance. There’s no erasing, no “painting over it”—if you try to control it, it will fight you right back, and trust me, watercolor wins every time. If you dance with it, embrace its untamable essence, it will reward you with a life, spirit, and illumination utterly unmatched by any other medium.
