About Shaina Craft
Shaina creates figurative oil paintings and works on paper which synthesize contemporary and classical techniques. Her work grows from themes such as obfuscation, disintegration and the grotesque.
Shaina's work has been shown at multiple galleries in New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland: most notably, Dacia Gallery in NYC and Pentimenti Gallery in Philadelphia, as well as the Affordable Art Fair NYC with SaatchiArt. Shaina's piece 'Scatter' won 3rd place at the Philadelphia Sketch Club's Works on Paper exhibition in 2016. Her work was chosen for the MFA National Competition at First Street Gallery in NYC as well as the “Art of the State" exhibition at the PA State Museum in Harrisburg.
