We have been bizzzzyyyy since January reared her brrrr-freezin’ face, setting up 3 truly ab-fab homes – this is the first and lemme tell ya, bring an extra pair of socks cuz we’ll knock the first pair off with this line-up … pinky swear on that fact.
This couple is uber-adorable, have excellent taste in everything, kept everything and have a son who is an artist currently living in New York. Here’s a little ditty on him:
Craig is a graduate of St. Thomas Aquinas and graduated with a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. After College, he returned to Kansas City and developed a clientele for his paintings. He has lived in New York City almost 5 years where he works with the Art Students League of New York and continues to develop his art. He has shown work through the Kansas City Arts Incubator, The Kansas City Fringe Festival, and The Arts Asylum. He was 1 of 3 featured artists at a gallery show in Berlin, Germany; at the Arts Student League in New York; and most recently in a show sponsored by the Taiwan government in Taipei, Taiwan. The work for sale is an eclectic mix of realism and abstraction. Craig is intrigued with the idea of changing the context of iconic images rendering them surreal and even humorous.
