Daniel Mirante's Friends

I am...: a self taught painter and trained multimedia artist, author and curator operating in the UK and throughout the WWW. Particularly devoted to the grassroots movement known as 'visionary' and 'outsider' art, working to develop new contexts for appreciating art and culture building. Fascinated by the connections between ecology, permaculture, and art presenting new visions of 'what we could be'.
I run a collective and studio/community space where developing talent is nurtured and supported in an interactive and sociable but concentrated production environment. Our metamap is the ancient European guilds. I am interested how the guild template can result in collective bodies of work that support and reinforce each other.
