Brandon Spicer-Crawley (b. 1980)

An versatile, improvisational artist, Brandon Spicer-Crawley works with a wide range of material, including wood collage, ceramic, calligraphy ink, paper sculpture, and acrylic paint pen. Recurring motifs of letters, police officers, and squiggly shapes create dynamic compositions of abstract and figurative forms. 

In 2019, Spicer-Crawley had his first solo exhibition at Little Berlin Gallery in Philadelphia. He was selected as one of ten artists in the international Sprocket Mural Works competition to design and paint a mural in Harrisburg, PA. Installed in August of that year, the 15 x 30 foot mural was such a success that Sprocket invited Spicer-Crawley back to complete the entire length of the historic building. The third and final installment is scheduled for Summer 2024. 

Spicer-Crawley has worked in the studio at CCW since its start in 2011. He lives with his family in West Norriton, PA.
