About / statement
Crosland grew up in southwest Florida and found inspiration to draw as a young creative. His affinity with the outdoors often led to meditative moments of solitude within nature. This relationship with nature grew and became the catalyst behind his printmaking craft. Crosland finds fulfillment in the printing process as it transcends into a ritual honoring the image created and what incited it. Marrying this school of thought and studio practice cultivates a praxis he strives to sustain through his work 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.
