Craig Wilson is well known for realistic welded steel wildlife sculpture
that he began creating in the late 1960's. His work can be found in public
and private collections,and he has exhibited in shows sponsored by the
National Wildlife Federation, the Cincinnati Zoo, the Denver Museum of
Natural History, the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, and the
prestigious "Birds in Art" show at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in
Wisconsin. Locally, his sculpture "Leap Frogs" can be seen in the John Wehle
Gallery of Western and Sporting Art at the Genesee Country Village, and his
horse "Giddyup History" can be seen outside the entrance to the Strong
Museum, where Craig is employed as a 3-D designer in the exhibits
department.

Currently, Craig has been working in wood, carving figuratively with a
chainsaw and chisels, and building rustic furniture. His studio is located
behind his home in West Irondequoit, where he has lived for seven years. The
Man-in-the-Moon Window will be a companion to the Sun window. He will use
the same materials: carved poplar and natural birch sticks. The finished
piece will be stained as shown in the photo illustration. "Since I am used
to working three- dimensionally, it was a challenge to design a piece that
would work with the frame. I settled on another universal symbol of light. I
decided to use natural materials, and left the frame unpainted, to integrate
with the rustic character of the carving."
