Craig Martinez

I now teach full time at a local community college but was a self-employed graphic designer for 25 years. I made a life changing decision to leave my design studio and teach in order to pursue my heartfelt passion to make art. History, politics, theology, psychology and a dark childhood inspire my work.

My sculptures and paintings are mistakes, cuts, scratches and mismatched pieces piled upon each other. I am attempting to take materials that are
seen as useless and give them another life. In essence, I believe in redemption. The sum total is a piece of art that I hope is unique and beautiful.
