Artist Bio

Craig Pozzi (November 18, 1942 - Nov. 12, 2004) earned a Bachelor of Arts in 1964 from Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, and a Bachelor of Professional Arts in 1972 from Brooks Institute of Photography (now the Brooks Institute), Santa Barbara, California. He received a Master of Fine Arts in 1976 from California Institute of the Arts, Valencia.
Beginning in 1976 Craig Pozzi was an instructor in the Graduate School of Architecture, University of Utah, Salt Lake City. In 1978 he also became an associate instructor in the school's Art Department. His major essays have been "Living in the Salt Lake Valley," "Living in Utah" and "The Leisure Landscape."
Craig Pozzi received several grants in 1978: from the Utah Arts Council and the Utah Endowment for the Humanities to document the Salt Lake Valley. The photographer's 16mm film Shackles and Chains won the Prix de la Chanson Filmée at the Cannes International Amateur Film Festival in 1971.

Pozzi later taught at Portland State University and Clark College in Washington, and his work appeared in Harper's Magazine and The New Yorker.
Pozzi died after complications from a brain tumor in 2004, and his family received a medical malpractice judgement in 2007. With funds from this settlement, his widow Angela Haseltine Pozzi (daughter of Maury Haseltine who has a painting in the Evergreen Art Collection) established a nonprofit called Washed Ashore - which organizes large community art projects cleaning plastic trash from ocean beaches for "Art to Save the Sea."
