Thank You to Gene Dillard, Wren Smith, Carol Clary, Donald Clary, Vincent Licenziato & Northgate Park.
Had the privilege of meeting him today when we stopped by to have a look at his work. Not only is he immensely gifted & skilled, he is warm, open, funny & just delightful! He invited my husband & me to explore his backyard & take some pictures. I'm just blown away by what he's accomplished - and is continuing to expand. Bravo, Gene! And thank you for being such a special person!
I am so happy to see Gene recognized for his unique work. He is not seeking publicity; he is very humble and enjoys doing his creations for his own satisfaction. His projects take time but he is relaxed and not in a hurry.
Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I got into mosaics almost 2 years ago and this house is bringing me such joy! What a beautiful collection of personal livable art!! Fantastic!
Absolutely beautiful 👍😁
Dazzling! I love this documentary about one of America's great folk artists and one of the finest guys I've ever known! Gene Is an ode to Character, Creativity, Commitment, Caring, Whimsy and Wonder! Bravo Galore!
How wonderfully beautiful. What a neat legacy to leave the world. It IS art sir. And the best form of it. The free style unrestricted and unrestrained way you do the designs and the Freeform nature is just heartwarming and breathtaking!
Great video, I've known Gene for thirty years and still learned something new! Nice editing!
Absolutely love this work of art 🙌
Wonderful Gene!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
Gene Dillard is to glass mosaic sculpture as Annie Dillard is to mystical fiction though not related to each other by blood. Only by art (which comes from the Latin, “Ars,” meaning to join or attach). So proud to be able to call this exceptional human being my friend. ❤
So cool...love that you do it for your own enjoyment. And then what it produces!!! I feel the joy it brings you. 😉👍❤

4:30 every so often you'll find one of these people and they are just the most Human of people; this man could have each and every one of his ancestors looking over at him and probably all of them would approve. Edit: _and_ he doesn't let his hobby become a job; fantastic man.
😂😂😂 I've drove by this house for years. I just called it the Wizard House.
He's still great as Mario!
What type of backerboard does he use?
What? No tile roof?
There are alot of unknown artist out there enjoying their craft for fun because they dont sell it.
