Craig J. Palmer
Contemporary Abstract Artist
Craig's work is focused on exploring the integration of realism and abstraction by taking the skills and knowledge he learned as a realistic painter and applying them to abstract painting. His transformation to abstraction has provided him with a contemporary approach to expressing his views of the environment.
Using color, lines, textures, and organic shapes, Craig’s paintings celebrate the natural world. His paintings create an inspiring harmony between manufactured art forms and nature’s awe-inspiring beauty.

"I Graduated from Parsons School of Design, with a background in realism, and an expertise in traditional oil portraits. As I evolved as an artist, I began to see the world through a new and exciting lens. I discovered that I could apply the traditional techniques that I was trained in, which at times felt constrictive, and learned to enjoy the playfulness of creating large format abstract concepts. Instead of rendering the life out my subjects, I attempt to capture the spirit and soul of whatever I paint.” - CRAIG PALMER
