Known for her large-scale paintings and prints, Craig’s abstract compositions are characterized by a dynamic exploration and interpretation of Northern Cheyenne material culture. Incorporating vivid colors, recurring patterns, and interwoven forms situated in grids, Craig’s work explores and celebrates her Native ancestry, posing questions about the languages of modern abstract painting and the relationship to both historic and contemporary Indigenous culture.

Utilizing the traditional horizontal composition, Craig’s intricate compositions have an underlying, unifying symmetry creating a balanced field of perception. Her exacting application of paint honors the past — a homage to the rigorous perfection and craftsmanship of the original design. Poetic, conversational, emotive and sometimes humorous, Craig’s titles offer a snippet into her personal world — weaving memory and life experience with illusory narrative. In transcendental investigations, she creates new narratives whilst celebrating and expanding the legacies of Native American art making.
