Art and Artist Collection
David Kane is an artist who has experimented in a variety of mediums. His artistic career began in the 1990s where he started by sculpting ceramics, then he eventually fell in love with acrylic. For the last 5 years, he has been involved in a program called The Greyhound Inmate Experience (TGIE). In 2006, TGIE (www.tgie-greyhounds.org) was founded by Gaye Ann Weaver in Coldwater, MI as a way to rescue retired racing Greyhounds for family adoption.
At the end of the program, each dog is adopted with a tote bag that features a portrait or imagery inspired by their heritage. As an artist in the program, David captures the beauty of the Greyhounds and how they’re misunderstood. His art features a variety of themes, from abstract to psychedelic. There are also some aspects of realism that the viewer will notice as well.
