CRAIG MARTIN ART

Home Paintings Bio Contact Archive

Born in New Zealand and now living in the Netherlands with my Dutch wife and 2 children.

I’ve been active as an artist for over 25 years. I enjoyed my education at the Art School of South Australia, Adelaide, in the early 90’s.

I have been very much a figurative painter working with oils on canvas. But now I am working on abstract landscapes. I have exhibited in Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands

My new work is drawn from the Dutch landscape with its large sky's and flat land

I live and work in Elst,the Netherlands
