Hales congratulates Jordan Ann Craig on being chosen by the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation as a recipient of the foundation's 2024 Biennial Grant.
The purpose of the funds is to give artists the opportunity to produce new work and push the boundaries of their creativity. Recipients were chosen from a pool of 125 nominees proposed by national nominators-artists, critics, museum professionals, Foundation trustees, and previous award winners. The Foundation's programs are coordinated and administered through a partnership with the National Academy of Design.
Known for her large-scale paintings and prints, Craig's abstract compositions are characterized by a dynamic exploration and interpretation of Northern Cheyenne and 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.
