Cat Craig is an artist based in Ojai, California, whose work is a tribute to the natural world.
For the past four years, she has been sharing art that reflects not only her love for nature but the
stories, memories, and quiet moments she’s gathered while exploring National Parks and public
lands across the country.
Cat’s journey with art began in childhood, where drawing became a refuge—a way to process
emotions and find healing. What started as a deeply personal practice using pencil, charcoal, and
ink has since evolved into an exploration of mediums, including oil paints, pastels, and digital
tools. Today, her work is infused with a sense of movement, light, and place—capturing the awe
of standing beneath a vast desert sky or the peace found on the edge of a bluff overlooking the
ocean.
Alongside her husband, Cat travels to National Parks and public lands, drawing inspiration from
their hikes, trail runs, rock climbs, and rides. These outdoor adventures are more than a source of
inspiration—they are part of her creative process and personal rhythm. Nature, to Cat, is not just
to be admired but to be engaged with, protected, and cherished.
One of the foundational beliefs at the heart of Cat Craig’s art is the importance of protecting and
preserving our natural landscapes. Her work serves as a gentle call to action—inviting viewers to
slow down, reconnect with the earth, and rediscover a sense of reverence for its quiet strength
and enduring beauty.
Ojai has been Cat’s home for six years, and the breathtaking hills and winding trails surrounding
her have become both sanctuary and muse. They echo in her work—imbued with the warmth,
stillness, and freedom she finds among them.
Forever evolving, Cat remains devoted to learning, growing, and discovering new ways to
express her enduring love for the natural world. Her art is not only a reflection of place but a call to protect what inspires us most.
