Craig had to escape his homeland in Zimbabwe three years ago, and now lives in America.

He studied graphic design at Natal University in South Africa, where he developed his love of painting. However with a growing emphasis on abstract modern art he became disillusioned and returned home enrolling in the Rhodesian Police during the civil war. Keen to do more for his country he joined the elite 'Green Berets' in 1977 but was later injured by a mortar bomb. Eight operations and five months later he left hospital. During his convalescence he travelled in to the Zambezi Valley bushveld where he found peace and started painting wildlife.

His first exhibition in 1978, in Harare was a sell-out and with a growing reputation Craig has since had many successful shows around the world and publishes limited edition prints of his work. He often supports charitable causes and before he was forced to leave, spent all his free time photographing wildlife in remote areas of Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique. Craig lives in the States with his wife and three children but hopes one day to return to his beloved Africa.
