Casa Dorinda has been accentuating the negative!

Former Ford Executive Roger Craton, 93, a keen photographer and traveler in his retirement, is showing 29 pieces of his colorful work on textured watercolor paper which gives it “a more painterly look.”

He last had an exhibition in 2023 and has captured tens of thousands of images which he has also shown at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Wilding Museum in Solvang, the Museum of Natural History, and the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming.

After his retirement in 1992 he studied with a number of professional photographers and traveled the world with his wife Joanie, having made many trips to Japan when working.

Quite the shutterbug…
