Craig Tiley

Born in Swindon in 1983. Although only a stones throw from the home of the GWR, Craig arrived too late to appreciate first hand the famous railway works, and only has a few memories of the rubble that was 'A-Shop'. Inspired by Terence Cuneo, he has been painting and drawing as long as he can remember and his interest in art continued throughout his education, which culminated in 2005 with the gaining of a BA (Hons) in Design.
Preferred mediums are pencils and acrylics, and he receives regular commissions for both sketches and paintings - his first gained when he was only 14 years old.
2001 saw Craig win First Great Western's competition to design a poster for the launch of the new 'Adelante' passenger trains, his winning poster being displayed at all stations between Bristol and Paddington.
The Railway Magazine, Wingspan and Heritage Railway are just some of the publications to feature Craig's artwork, and in 2004 the IOM Post Office featured one of his paintings on a stamp to celebrate the bi-centennial anniversary of steam.
And finally... as well as gaining membership of the GRA, he is also a member of The Guild of Aviation Artists and The Guild of Motoring Artists.
