For thirty years, millions of Americans and citizens of the world have turned to MacNeil/Lehrer for the solid, reliable reporting that has made the NewsHour one of the most trusted news programs in television.

The program’s producer was impressed by Crosier’s artwork and approached him regarding the opportunity to display his art on set.

Crosier provided some of his unique, watershed wood pieces, specifically selected for the set to complemented the deep, dark red brick background.

Crosier comments on his involvement with the program: “NewsHour is a journalist juggernaut. It’s such a prestigious program that I’m delighted my art is going to be included in the production during this historic time.”

Crosier’s three featured pieces, all created on pine lumbar, are both unique and distinctive.

The first piece, appropriately titled, “Nose” has become Crosier’s signature piece due to its compelling visual appeal. Nose has been featured in many gallery shows as well as Juxtapoz Magazine’s online edition.

The additional two pieces can be described as abstract non-representational, sculptural paintings. They are exercises in design, crafted by using cross sections of pine lumbar to create the composition.

All three of these pieces are currently for sale. Please contact www.thothengine.net for more information.
