MAYSEY CRADDOCK

Painter and sculptor Maysey Craddock is a native Memphian currently living and working in Munich, Germany. Craddock received her BA in 1993 from Tulane University in New Orleans and her MFA in 2003 from Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine. Since the mid-nineties, her work has appeared in group and solo exhibitions across the United States and, more recently, in Germany.

Her watercolor and gouache paintings on sewn paper bags reflect the strength and promise that can be found in profound change and loss; much of the recent imagery in her paintings comes from post-Katrina New Orleans, where Craddock resided until 2005.
