Edwin has been an artist in Dallas at The Stewpot since 2011. The Stewpot Art Program is open specifically to the homeless and at-risk populations in Dallas. It provides studio space and supplies for free – a needed respite for those who feel bogged down by the stress of being homeless. And The Stewpot Art Program Director acts as an agent promoting their work in the community through art shows and galleries that she sets up. And The Stewpot helps artists with their basic needs and helps get them housed if desired. Edwin is now housed and continues to work and be represented by The Stewpot.

Since the day he was sketching alone on the street and met The Stewpot Art Director, Fuller’s paintings have filled the halls of the Stewpot’s second floor. His work is reminiscent of Jackson Pollock and his methodical randomness – but also Monet with his rapid and fragmented brush strokes. If you ask Fuller, though, he’ll tell you that his real muse is Harley Brown, a Canadian painter, best-known throughout the 60s and 70s for his portraits of Native Americans.

Fuller primarily works with a palette knife to etch globs of acrylic paint down and across a canvas. That technique produces several square-like strokes plotted as a landscape, a cityscape or just a random tableau of light and color.

Fuller took a few art classes in college at the University of Colorado Boulder; the rest was self-taught – observing artists on YouTube, television and in galleries. But the artist has been in him since childhood.

This painting is donated to raise money for Gilmont in all of the ways it reaches out to it's community. Many of Edwin’s works sell for up to $500+ to raise money for The Stewpot and help pay for Edwin's living expenses!
