GLOW INC.  FEATURED ARTIST: LELAND GREEN
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Leland Green, also known as 'The Glow in the Dark Man', was born and raised in Springfield, MO.

He attended college at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas where he majored in Art and minored in music.  Through the years following college, Leland worked as a self-taught computer programmer and, after 20 years in the field, earned himself the title of Software Engineer, Advanced - - one of the most advanced titles in the field. Though very talented in the field of computer programming, Leland knew he wanted to pursue his love for art.
 
"I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. I am one of six children and it seemed that they way I got attention as a kid was by drawing.  Everyone always told me how well I could draw, so that kept me going."
 
Leland is now disabled, so he focuses most of his time on his love for art. Though he sculpts and molds using various mediums, he says that his current favorite form of art expression has been digital creation which "seems to have replaced the pen ink and paper" style of old. 
 
As pictured to the right, you can see examples of this digital art as well as his various molds, sculptures and very popular bottle necklaces.  Leland's hope is to become a full-time artist with his pieces, which can be found on Etsy here.
 
We very much encourage you to visit and like his Facebook page as well as his digital art site.  Leland thinks outside of the box and he is always eager to share his love of art with others around the world. He also takes requests!
