About the Artist

Craig Tennant (b. 1946) started his art career working with Grey Advertising in New York City at the age of 21. In 1970, he became an Illustrator with B.B.D.O. advertising agency in NY, and was assigned such clients as Campbell's Soup and Dodge Chrysler. For the next twenty years, Tennant freelanced for clients including TV Guide, Sports Illustrated, and Field & Stream, before moving West in 1989 to concentrate on oil paintings depicting the western way of life. In 1981 he received the Silver Award from the NYC Society of Illustrators.

Tennant's most recent credits include the People's Choice Award, at both the 2001 and 2002 Coors Western Art Show, and the 2000 and 2001 Stampede Western Art Show.
