A Web of Influence: Craig Marucci’s Experience with Ray Robinson, Kim Harrison and Carol Finkbeiner Thomas

Ray Robinson
​Ray Robinson was a teacher at H.B. Beal Technical School while Craig Marucci was a student there, however Ray’s primary influence on Craig was years later when they were both teaching at Fanshawe College. Craig taught pottery and favoured realism, while Ray’ primary focus was on mark-making. Ray’s practice involved using two-dimensional surfaces to create a three-dimensional experience and a feeling of space or optical illusion.
After returning from his time spent in England, Craig agreed to begin teaching watercolour painting even though he had never attempted the medium before. Similar to Ray’s mark-making techniques in other mediums, Craig developed a practice of scratching the surface of his watercolours.
 
Craig and Kim Harrison both attended Beal Technical School as students at the same time, during which Kim moved on to study printmaking with Sigird Lochner. Both Kim and Craig encouraged and supported Carol Finkbeiner Thomas when she was beginning to paint and make art once again in her early career.
