the cultural work of Daniel Mirante, a painter and teacher

Dear friends

This page has been set up so that people who feel to support my teaching work and cultural work can easily make donations.My current intentions are to disseminate empowering methods of traditional art-making to my surrounding community, particularly painting, because it is so direct it is a means of expression and therapeutic meditation open to all. I am now at a place in my artistic development where gaining traditional academic skills is important to take this mission further. Such training is expensive, but it it my belief that it is worth taking this step so that I can share what I learn in my teaching.I have found a school that I could attend in London part-time, and to undertake the autumn term would cost £2000 (£1,400 tuition fee's, plus £600 materials, and weekly accomodation and transport). Any excess funds raised over this goal will contribute to funds for the next term I hope to attend.

I will be doing my best to meet this cost myself, but I wanted to offer this vision out to the community by offering a special range of prints that are only available through supporting my school fund.For a donation of £50 for instance an a3 signed print of Archangel Michael,  or for £150, a special limited edition giclee of either Archangel Michael or the central figure of Chanting Down Babylon, an image I am only offering as a print through this supporter fund.

Chanting Down Babylon central figure:

For support expressed by £300, I am offering giclee prints of 'Jachin and Boaz' - which is the only way of acquiring a print of this particular artwork.
