Artist Biography
Craig Nadziejka grew up in a home with his father’s paintings on the walls and a sister working in fashion design. Many are the memories of day trips to NYC to visit museums, study art, and the latest fashions. His art collecting began in college along with his interest in photography.
Today he lives with his creative wife and daughter near Weatherford, TX. An extensive art collection enlivens their home.
His love of Texas, the southwest, and all things western is reflected in the wide variety of subjects and locations chosen.
Craig believes that photography should be relational. It makes available experiences and emotions to the viewer. If an image can bring a wonder, contemplation or spark curiosity then it is a success. Photography makes our worlds both bigger and more intimate.
His work has appeared in juried shows and won recognition both local and international. Craig has won 9 awards in the annual Texas State Fair professional photography competition including a first place and two 2nd place awards.
Even with over 100,00 images in his catalogue the clear highlight of his artistic career is the night he and his daughter both earned high honors in their hometown’s juried art show. Their awards proudly hang together.
