Jordan Ann Craig (b. 1992 San Jose, CA, USA) received her BA in Studio Art and Psychology from Dartmouth College in 2015. She lives and works in Santa Fe County, New Mexico. Known for her large-scale paintings and prints, Craig’s abstract compositions are characterized by a dynamic exploration and interpretation of Northern Cheyenne and Cheyenne material culture. Incorporating vivid colors, recurring patterns, and interwoven forms situated in grids, Craig’s work explores and celebrates her Native ancestry, posing questions about the languages of modern abstract painting and the relationship to both historic and contemporary Indigenous culture.
Her work is represented in numerous museum collections including Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR; Speed Art Museum, Louisville, KY. This year she will be the subject of three US solo exhibitions, including The Block Museum of Art, IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, and Hales New York.
