Craig's first solo exhibition, at the Athenaeum Gallery in 1932, included subjects ranging from still lifes to portraits. Accomplished in oils, watercolours and pastels, Craig also applied her talent for design to line-drawings for book-plates and emblems. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eShe was a foundation member of the New Melbourne Art Club and, during the 1930s and 1940s, exhibited with the Melbourne Society of Women Painters and Sculptors, the Victorian Artists Society, and the Twenty Melbourne Painters. Between 1936 and 1951 she maintained a Collins Street studio; numerous seascapes reflected the time she spent at the family's beach house at Canadian Bay on the Mornington Peninsula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIn March 1945 Craig became an official war artist, commissioned by the Australian War Memorial (under pressure to appoint modernist artists) to record work at the Commonwealth Explosives Factory at Maribyrnong.

Her second solo exhibition was held at Georges Gallery in 1948.
