The Paintings of Emma Craig
In our beautiful Issue #1, we feature the fine artwork of aspiring orthopedic surgeon, Emma Craig. Her high school art teacher encouraged her to paint and Craig found a resonant connection when one day she was asked to paint a skeleton. This sparked her intrigue in painting bones, and she explored her own scoliosis through a colorful semi-abstract painting. Craig uses a watercolor background and either India ink or chalk as a top layer.
Now she makes art just for fun, rather than as a career. "I really enjoy exploring the bones through painting," she says, "and when I was making these pieces was when I decided to go into orthopedic surgery. It was partly through painting that I've learned I have steady hands."
