Reverse painting on glass is a technique practiced by only a very few masters today. In the forefront stands Milton Bond. His self-taught technique not only evokes the spirit and essence of Americana, but has also earned him international acclaim. Bond was born in 1918 in Bridgeport, Connecticut and now resides and works in Stratford, Connecticut. Bond comes from a long line of New England oystermen and sailors. He was the owner and master of one of the last commercial vessels on the Long Island Sound. His love and deep understanding of the sea is reflected in many of his works. Bond is a self-taught artist who has been reverse painting on glass for over twenty years. He began drawing at age five and showed tremendous talent at such a young age that his work was exhibited at a State Teacher's Convention in 1923. His works have been shown in important museum exhibits in the Us, Europe, and South America. He has also won many prizes and awards for his paintings.
