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.

Craig's Rooster window is just the latest in a series of roosters he has produced in different media. The subject has become one of his favorites. "Many years ago I was commissioned to do a welded steel rooster. I needed a model, so I borrowed a real rooster from a local farm. It secretly lived in my studio in the city for a whole winter. My neighbors couldn't figure out why they were hearing a rooster crow every morning."

Currently, Craig has been working primarily in wood, carving figuratively with a chainsaw and chisels, and building rustic furniture. His studio is located behind his home in West Irondequoit.
