Painting, Sculpture / Installation, Visual / Media

Meaning is what the titles of my artworks reference. The art is not about the painterly style. That was for the 20th century. Style is simply the vocabulary utilized to express the intended meaning. Never the message itself.

The meaning of my artworks comes from my day job and working in Big Tech. The relevance of specific technologies is very short. Most may be a year at the most before that technology is built onto and becomes something else. The relevance, however, is entirely a different story. The impact of technology is the grit in the oyster, which shapes everything humanity knows, from culture and social structures to worldview. All of this is held through the story of human history.

Arriving at this unique perspective is the grit in my mind, which constantly generates new ideas for compositions. Some of them I feel compelled to render in color and form. I guess when Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living," he was speaking for like-minded people such as myself.

About the Artist

My day job for decades has been in building out solutions to make technologies both useful and safe in the world. The process and research required to successfully do this has kept me an outsider in an insider based world. A child of fresh off the boat immigrants pushed me ever outside mainstream. In building solutions the way I had over my career in BigTech sealed my position of outside looking in.
