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 satisfaction in the printing process as it transcends into 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.  
 
Crosland studied under master printers Brad Shanks and Tim Baker at the University of South Florida & sistering Graphic Studio Institute for Research in Arts and received his BFA in 2017. Crosland now studies at the University of Florida where he will receive his Masters in Arts in Medicine in 2024.
