has gained significant popularity. He is known as
the "Western History Artist".
"There is a fine line," he said, "between
illustrations and fine art. I do some illustrations,
some paintings, some posters, but I consider
most of my prints fine art, not posters".
Commissions for magazine designs, cover
illustrations and brochures came from many
Fortune 500 companies such as Xerox, American
Airlines, Sony, Associates, Campbell Taggart,
and Johnson & Johnson.
A few years ago, he downsized, closed his
commercial studio and moved his business to
his home in Burleson, a suburb of Fort Worth,
where he and his wife Constance of 35 years

Given the beauty and quality of the art prints,
bronzes and original art he produces, it might
well be said, "Don't be surprised wherever you
go, to find a work created by Gary Crouch".

Born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1946, Gary has lived
in North Texas most of his life. A self-taught artist
since the age of eleven, he was professional
before he could vote and has had his own
business since 1966.
Although fine art commissions were scarce in
the early years, Gary continued to develop his
abilities, working in pencil, pen and ink, acrylic
and oil and extensively in airbrush.
In 1969, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and
assigned as an illustrator in Vietnam. He
received the Bronze Star, Meritorious
Achievement, and Presidential Citation while
serving in the military.
Fine art had been his focus early in his career,
but as his family grew, it was necessary to
diversify into advertising and marketing. He
started creating brochures, logos, corporate
literature, technical art and cover illustrations
because it was more lucrative and there was
more of that kind of business available.
Much of his reputation as an artist rests on the
superior quality of the prints he has produced. In
the late 1970s and early 1980s over 25 limited
edition prints of his work were created and sold
nationally. He also designed and illustrated
educational posters on Creationism used in 110
countries at colleges and universities. Most of
Gary's work today involves the history of Oil &
Gas and the American West. His prints are
collected nationally and even in Europe and
Japan where the American West

"I have been asked many
times, "Is your work paintings,
photos, drawings, or what ?
"The answer is yes. Most of my
work is a combination of all
the above. Usually the central
piece is an airbrush, oil, or
acrylic work that is scanned
into the computer in order to
build the other effects and
combinations that are
composed to form the overall
image. An artist will use
whatever medium is available
to accomplish the desired
result and today we have a
large variety of creative tools."
