Dany Green is a self-taught glass artist based in Baltimore, Maryland. She has no traditional mosaic training and developed her own technique, which she calls glass painting. She places one shard at a time on the surface, each one in response to the last. She is originally from the Greater Philadelphia area.
Green calls her process a dance between herself and a static material. She breaks glass and puts it back together. She works between order and chaos and does not pick a side. The glass reacts to whatever light is in the room, so the work looks different every time you see it.
She is the Lead Teaching Artist at Arts on the Block, a youth workforce development program in Maryland. Her largest commission is a 33 by 17 foot mosaic mural for George Washington University honoring the late Judge Leah Brock McCartney, currently being installed on campus. She has exhibited at the Strathmore Invitational Gallery and Virginia ARTFactory.
Her subject is light. She chose glass because it is the only material she knows that does something with light rather than just sitting under it. She says the transcendent becomes possible in the space between order and chaos.
