About / statement
Crosland grew up in southwest Florida, where solitude in expansive landscapes shaped an early relationship with drawing and observation. His work often features reduced, silhouetted figures—anonymous stand-ins that emphasize posture, presence, and scale within environments that feel older and more enduring than the self. Printmaking serves as both process and ritual, where repetition and pressure honor labor, memory, and time. This integration of environment, embodiment, and material discipline forms a praxis that Crosland sustains through both his studio practice and teaching.
During Crosland's undergraduate study, he served as Art Director for the student-run exhibition space, sourced funding for the arts, and co-founded community art events while pursuing research in printmaking and assisted instruction and laser application in the printmaking department. Crosland studied under master printers Brad Shanks and Tim Baker at the University of South Florida & sistering Graphic Studio Institute for Research in the Arts and received his BFA in 2017.
Crosland continued his print practice in the Bay Area of California and started his own print studio while working as a fine art printmaker and graphic designer/printer for the screen printing industry. Crosland enjoyed hosting workshops and using printing as a way to promote fundraising and community initiatives. After receiving his Masters of Arts in Medicine in Studio Art, Crosland now teaches printmaking and digital design in the Tampa Bay/ St. Petersburg area while working in the community promoting art and education through mural projects, grant initiatives, and workshops.
