Early life and education Craddock was born and raised in Vegreville, Alberta.

Career In 1988, Craddock moved to Vancouver Island where she resided with her family and worked at a post secondary photography school in Victoria. In 1997, she moved to one of the Gulf Islands and employed the location's remoteness to reflect upon her art. Craddock states, " None of us live [sic]exclusively in the present. What we understand as being 'now' is in fact an amalgamation of personal and collective experiences interactive with a current framework of existence. This defines who we are..." the Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta; and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Alberta.
