I have dedicated everything of myself to my life as a creative. There has been nothing easy in doing such. I have been fortunate to have had hundreds of exhibition, mostly solo, in galleries and museums around this country. I am fortunate to have my work on 6 of the 7 continents in private or public collections. Accomplishing such, the vast majority of this work has been done by the efforts of one person…me. I thank those that have aided me in this exhaustive journey. Supplies, space, trips, transportation, storage, assistants, media, marketing etc. don’t pay for themselves. Whenever you embark on any kind of endeavor support is not necessary to conceive the idea, but it is necessary to form and let said idea flourish. This page is dedicated to those that have committed tome and my patreon.com/clevelanddean page Those who monthly truly have supported. I also remind, the arts is a professional field where the vast majority are supposed to fail. Individuals like myself who don’t have MFA’s or institutional support often don’t make a living, get exhibitions or representations. Such makes for a long road in order to maintain a practice. A great amount of gratitude is given to those that have helped me along the way and have given life to my purpose. Thank you.

Allow me to take a moment to a few people who have funded me in my efforts to keep this creative boat afloat.

First and foremost, above all others…the ones who taught me how to teach:

Cleveland and Geraldine Dean

The ones that taught me what love is:

Jailan and Kylah Dean
