ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Chicago artist Dan Crowley works in many different mediums. Over the years his sculpted puppets have been sold in galleries across the country. Tiffany & Co in Chicago showcased his sculpted characters in award winning Holiday window displays, as has the Stuart Weitzman stores. Dan’s shoe characters are in Jane Weitzman’s book “Art & Sole” and Donna Kato’s book “the Art of Polymer Clay”. His cartoon strip “Uncle Dan” ran weekly in the Windy City Media Publication, Nightspots for three years. The Chicago Public Library showcased Dan’s oil painting series of famous people from history as frogs. This group of paintings continues to grow as frog portraits became something Crowley was known for. He began his career in 1985 as an illustrator for the Children’s Garment Industry in Manhattan, drawing teddy bears for kid’s clothing. Now-a-days he works in his studio assisted by his cats “the Nicklebys”.
