Born in the San Francisco Bay Area and a graduate of UCLA, Cindy Craig’s work explores the hidden emotional lives of women and the stories that families, institutions, and societies have too often silenced. Through painting, collage, embroidery, and installation, she blends beauty, and psychological tension to examine domestic life, memory and grief. Beneath the seductive surfaces of her imagery lies a pointed feminist critique of the cultural expectations placed upon women and the systems that have historically dismissed their suffering.

​

Craig has exhibited nationally in museums and galleries in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago. Notable exhibitions include I WANT Candy: The Sweet Stuff in American Art at the Hudson River Museum, Greetings From the American Dream at the Riverside Art Museum, Liquid Los Angeles: Currents of Contemporary Watercolor at the Pasadena Museum of California Art, and the National Biennial Watercolor Invitational at Parkland Art Gallery.

​

Her work has been featured in publications including New American Paintings, The New York Sun, Harper's Magazine, ArtWeek, American Art Collector, and Art on Paper.

Craig currently lives and works in Los Angeles, where she enjoys studying Buddhism, cooking Asian cuisine, hiking in the mountains, lying around on ironing boards and spending time with her family.
