Between Two and Three Dimentions

I have been painting onto glass layers since 2003 and consider this my life's practice. It fulfills my attraction to the action of painting and produces the satisfaction of a completed sculpture. In 2010 I explored forms found within bodies of water that can be found here:

The Yes Farm: an Artist Collective on the Near East side of Detroit

The Yes Farm is full of lead paint chips, asbestos, and dust but we still love to make art inside. We stay safe, wear masks and safety gear and keep the door locked but still come home dirty and people still break in. We will never be stopped, we will persevere.
What we started with in September.

December 2008 close to the time of our first show: In the Begining
May 2009, almost all the windows are secure.
