DC Etchings Inc.

Dick Cowan acquired a degree in Graphic Art (1977) before beginning his career in Newspaper layout and cartooning. Then worked for over 10 years as an illustrator and advertising director for fashion and dept store chains in Green Bay and Madison, Wisc. His detailed fashion and product illustration earned him several ADDY Awards.

       In the 80s  Dick began working as a freelance etching artist with Granite companies and developed his unique technique of hand etching.  In 1988  DC Etchings Inc was established and has been supplying quality artwork to over 40 Monument Companies for more than 30 years. 

          Dick currently resides in Stoughton, WI with his wife, Sandy and his dog, Chester. He has three grown children; Dani, Riley and Kelly.  When  not at the drawing table or working on an etching,  Dick is an avid outdoorsman and family man who enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time with his two granddaughters Autumn and Emma.

Kelly is Dick Cowan's youngest daughter. Growing up Kelly was always interested in her dad's business. When she wasn't at school or playing sports, she enjoyed going on business trips and drawing with her dad. After high school Kelly studied fine art at UW-Stevens Point and  UW-La Crosse before withdrawing from school to work with her dad full time. 

          Currently Kelly is living in Stoughton, WI with her boyfriend Jake, their dog Kodi, their cat Remi and their turtles. Other than working, she likes to paint, travel and spend her free time as a freelance photographer. She is enjoying learning the business and taking on more responsibility as Dick's apprentice.
