Sam Dantone
Profile
I am an artist with many facets.
The common thread that stitches all of my work together is my critique on man’s apparent love for life and his constant destruction of it.
In the fine arts world I use any material the moment calls for. I work in all dimensions including 3-D, 2-D, performance and virtual.
In the commercial world I am a sign man, muralist, graphic designer and computer artist. With my wife Karen, we operate our sign shop in Florence, OR. You can see more of my work (murals, organic paintings, signs and more) on our sign shop web site.
