My prison paintings began with PAIN: Philip Glaser

At one of the lowest moments of his life while in jail awaiting trial, Philip Glaser began to draw. During his incarceration at Attica, Phil learned the value of art as therapy and perhaps even as a chance at redemption. See how art changed Phil's life, making him a better person and even reuniting him with his lost love. Phil never expected incarceration would give him a second chance for a life worth living and happiness. After arriving at Attica, he became an accomplished artist/designer and has created numerous murals throughout the facility. His painting "Art, In Cell Window Perspective" received the Best Donated Work award for the Crime Victims Fund Exhibition and was chosen for the prestigious 1990 Rochester Finger Lakes Exhibition.
