Dean has been painting since 2011 mentored by Tom Bacher, internationally recognized creator of glow in the dark art.

Dean is a glow in the dark abstract impressionist. He is a "Master of the Night Light" using glow in the dark phosphorescent pigments mixed in an acrylic gel medium. The phosphorescent pigments absorb light and then reemit the light in the dark to provide the glow in the dark experience. Any light will “charge” phosphorescent pigments which then glow in the dark. While black lights may charge them quicker, they are not necessary to make them work. Many of Dean's more recent paintings are very sculptural. You want to touch them and because they are protected by a thick varnish coat, you can!
