About the Artist
Craig Tilley is an artist, storyteller, and visionary who is redefining the boundaries of art and human connection through his immersive social art project, the Grapevine Wall. Tilley's journey is one of resilience, creativity, and a profound understanding of the human experience.
At the age of 20, Craig Tilley's life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with Stargardt's disease, a genetic eye condition that gradually robs individuals of their central vision. While this diagnosis could have been a devastating blow, Tilley chose to embrace it as an opportunity to see the world in new and profound ways.
