“I have been painting and drawing for over 60 years now. My mother got me my first set of watercolors when I was nine. She recognized my ability and encouraged me to take up art. I like watercolor for its wonderful way of capturing light, mood, atmosphere, and color brilliance.
I have been represented by Nuance Galleries of Tampa. Corporate collectors of my art include South Atlantic Capital, the University of Tampa, Miller Brewing (Tpa), St. Joseph’s Hospital, Tampa General Hospital, and Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia. Private collectors have enjoyed my work for many years.”

2025-03-29, 2025-03-31, 2025-04-01 | Lobby Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, 33618, United States
My works are vibrant cityscape/urban landscape paintings in acrylic on stretched canvas, expressing my vision of the world around me in a light-hearted style. Created with bold composition and brilliant saturated color, my play on perspective, vanishing points, depth of field, and use of color make these works unique.

"Moments: Capturing Life Through the Lens" by Craig Nowicke
2025-03-29, 2025-03-31 | Art Corner Art Gallery, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, F, 33618, United States
Rod Stewart famously made the musical statement, “Every picture tells a story, don’t it?” He was right! Every photo is rooted in a journey and seeks to tell the story of that special place, time, and experience.
My goal is that the photographic art you see here will invite you into the essence of these times, places, and experiences that I’ve been fortunate to capture and share with you. Let’s begin the journey! Adventure awaits!
