Michael Crossett
Each of my works contributes to a larger story, reflecting my belief that art is an ongoing dialogue. While I have largely honed my craft through self-directed exploration, my extensive career in marketing and design has deeply informed my understanding of color, composition, and form.

From the Artist
Michael Crossett is a mixed media artist and designer living in Washington, DC. He received a B.S. in Advertising and Marketing at George Mason University in 1997, and from 2007 - 2010 he studied at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC, focusing on printmaking, bookmaking, and graphic design.
He worked most recently as the Creative Director for Jones Lang Lasalle (JLL) in Washington, DC. There he led a team of designers to develop brands for large commercial real estate developments in the Mid-Atlantic. He also worked in marketing and design for Clements International, an international insurance company. His many roles in marketing and design have developed a unique perspective that Michael brings to all of his projects.
His experience living and traveling abroad has created a lifelong fascination with urban life, different cultures, and contemporary design. Michael creates vibrant, layered compositions using digital photography and screen printing.
From large-scale murals to more intimate studio creations, his work spans a spectrum of formats while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. Michael embraces the intersection of past and present, weaving contemporary design with touches of nostalgia. This interplay creates an evocative contrast between the artistic and the commercial, resulting in work that resonates with a broader audience.
The son of a military family, Michael spent his childhood in Japan, Hawaii and a host of US cities. He settled 20 years ago in Washington, DC, where he lives and works today.
