We’re on the cusp of a new era in fine-art painting. Recently developed robotic painting devices will enable Photoshop software to be used as a painting tool. This will completely disrupt the way paintings are made and distributed.

Career Summary:
I left graduate school in psychology to become a photographer in the 1970s. I received a MFA from the University of Florida in 1976. I went on to become a founder of the Contemporary Art Center in Atlanta and the studio program at Emory University where I taught for over 40 years. I also owned Atlanta Video, a video production company that specialized in arts and educational programming. My Emmy Award winning documentary about the Maya Indians, “Apocalypse Then”, aired in primetime on the A&E Network. I also produced classical music videos and artist profile videos for the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. I have a certificate in Spanish from the Universidad de Salamanca in Spain.
Before retiring from the Emory University Film & Media Studies Department I was primarily known as a video artist. I Have shown work and won awards at scores of international and national media events. My art videos were slow motion studies of people in crowds on the street, at sporting events, watching parades, or running from bulls in Spain.
In retirement I’ve become an early adapter of the technology that I believe will change the way paintings are created. The efficiency and speed of computers and evolved robotic painting devices will allow the designers of the new painting to create works at a scale and precision associated with the manufacture of any complex mass consumer item. The democratization of fine art painting is upon us and I personally like the idea that paintings by the next avant-garde will be designed in software and rendered by a robot. The era of the 90 million dollar contemporary painting will thankfully end.
