Craig was born in Foxboro, Massachusetts. After serving 23 years in the United States Air Force and living all around the world, he now calls Yuba City, California home. Craig’s artistic journey began in 2016 when he received a Bob Ross Master Paint Set for Christmas. With no prior experience in oil painting and only a couple of art classes in grade school, Craig quickly discovered his talent and passion for painting. Encouraged by positive feedback on social media, Craig created this page and later a website (www.happypaintingsbycraig.com) to showcase his work. Craig’s art journey evolved from following Bob Ross tutorials on YouTube to creating his own original pieces, exploring various styles, techniques, and mediums. He continues his quest to find his own unique style and unlock his full artistic potential. Craig’s website documents his progress, sharing insights and inspiration with fellow artists. His website features a gallery of his work, a blog about each painting, an Etsy shop, and resources for aspiring painters. Craig’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the joy of discovering one’s creative potential.
