An award winning artist, Crispo has studied at the Carmel Art Institute under John Cunningham and Sam Colburn. He has also studied at the Monterey Peninsula College, Hartnell College in Salinas, and University of California, Santa Cruz. Known for his abstract like figurative work and landscapes, Crispo has produced over 60 murals throughout the United States.
