SUNDAY STUDIO DAYS - CRAIG GUNN

 Hello and WELCOME BACK to our Sunday Studio Days! 

This week we're featuring oil painter Craig Gunn. 

This Sunday blog post will be a little different as we not only take a look into Craig's creative space but also celebrate the opening of his new show!

Craig in the Studio


Last week we opened a new body of work from Craig, titled "Beauty in the Rough" this awesome show of 13+ paintings was inspired by the beauty hiding in plain sight all around Dartmouth!

Craig is not only a phemonenal painter, but also a local actor! He's been in many locally made film and tv shows and has a real interest in comedy horror! 

Posters from films Craig has been invovled in

We felt opening his show on Friday the 13th was an awesome way to connect and showcase Craig's horror side and have a little fun.

Craig has a fantastic sense of humour so many laughs we're had with all the horror-silliness! 

NOW, Craig's studio...!

Being the film guy he is, Craig has provided his studio interview answers in the form of video!
