Biography
Crawford was born in Buffalo, New York, on November 3, 1856. She studied at the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy and then traveled to Europe to study in Rome and Paris. While in Europe she met Charlotte "Emma" Wharton Kaan (1860-1949), who joined Crawford in Buffalo where the couple resided together and collaborated on artistic projects, including teaching.
