They say there's nothing quite like the original. Tried-and-truer words have never been spoken when it comes to Dean Crouser's iconic and successful collection of watercolor wonders, which includes the Cardinal Mug. Classic art and new works pair 'naturally.'
The artist: Dean Crouser was born and raised in Oregon, where summers were spent camping and fishing on the foothills of Mt. Hood, the Columbia River Gorge and the Central Oregon High Lakes. This adventuresome childhood fostered a love of fishing, camping and the great outdoors that can be found in the expressions of Dean's art. When it comes to painting, Dean strives to say the most with the least, keeping his work fast and spontaneous. His goal is to capture the beauty and simplicity of a scene that everyone can relate to.
