Philip Craig was born in Ottawa in 1951. He was encouraged in his creative endeavors by his parents from an early age; taking specialized art courses in Ottawa he eventually graduated from Sheridan College of Art and Design in Toronto.

Upon his return to Ottawa, Philip was hired by the CBC, as a television graphic designer. It was soon after that he was taken on by his first gallery after he was spurred on by older artists to submit a painting to Visual Art, Ottawa Survey Exhibition #1 in 1975.

For the next decade, Philip lived and worked in Newfoundland where his isolation from the art world allowed him to focus on the traditional subject matter: landscapes, portraits, and still life.

His paintings began to sell in both Ottawa and Newfoundland and with success came a growing demand for his works. By 1986, Philip and his young family returned home and he decided to paint full-time.

Philip’s travels, first to England, then France, Italy, Morocco, and India enriched and inspired his works and gave him an appreciation for light. Collectors around the world now seek his paintings.
