An excerpt
from a review in the Sarasota Tribune (May 16, 2003) of Craig
Seidell's work:
“The strongest paintings are
by Craig Seidell of Sarasota High School. Large heads painted
with expressive gusto and genuine psychological force. “Confrontation”
an acrylic on canvas, has the feel of blood pulsing through paint.”
