Life and work

Jeremy Caniglia was born July 13, 1970 in Omaha, Nebraska. He went to Creighton Preparatory School, where he was first introduced to art. He studied traditional classical painting at Iowa State University, receiving a BFA in drawing, painting and printmaking in 1993. After graduation he studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland under well-known abstract expressionist Grace Hartigan, where he received his MFA in 1995.

In addition to Hartigan, whom he cites as "bringing new insight to his work," Caniglia was also influenced by the Old Masters including Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio.

He has created book covers for well-known mainstream authors (Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Peter Straub, Douglas Clegg, F. Paul Wilson) and he has done cover art and illustrations for a number of noted horror and fantasy writers including Ed Lee and Charlee Jacob. His work has also appeared in horror magazines such as "Rue Morgue", "Flesh and Blood", and "Cemetery Dance".
