| On Artist Kinuko Craft | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Ms. Craft is a graduate, BFA 1962, of The Kanazawa Municipal College of Fine and Industrial Art (known in Japan as The Kanazawa Bidai). She was born in Japan and came to the United States in the early sixties where she continued studies in design and illustration at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for a year and a half. Subsequently, she worked for several years in well known Chicago art studios. By the end of the decade her work was in wide demand and she had begun her long and successful career as a free-lance illustrator. For most of this time she worked in editorial and advertising markets where her work regularly appeared in national magazines and newspapers. Since the mid 1990’s, she has concentrated on children's picture books, fantasy book jackets and poster designs. Her work is currently represented by Duirwaigh Inc., an on-line art gallery and print publishing venture at: http://www.duirwaighgallery.com | |||||||||||||||||||||
