Creating Digital Images that are Robotically Rendered as Oil Paintings.

Van Gogh Floating in a Quantum Storm. 2026
An Entirely New Approach to Fine Art Painting
These works were created in Photoshop and rendered as archival oil paintings using a new robotic technology developed at MIT. My current strategy after five years of initial experimentation was to modify public domain NASA images. The latest of these works were made using a waveform montage technique informed by speculative theories about quantum extra-dimensional states. Don’t take the science seriously but I believe I’ve developed an entirely new way to create fine art paintings.

Career Summary:
I received a B.A. in Psychology from Emory University in 1969. In the early seventies I attended graduate school in psychology at Georgia State University. I soon realized behavioral psychology was was not a career goal found interesting. I took under graduate courses in art and eventually was awarded a graduate school fellowship to attend the University of Florida where I received an MFA in 1976. I then moved back to Atlanta, where I’ve lived for fifty plus years. After serving as a founder of what is now Atlanta’s Contemporary Art Center, I established the studio art program at Emory University where I taught for forty years. I also founded Atlanta Video, a private business specializing 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. I have a certificate in Spanish from the Universidad de Salamanca in Spain (2016). Before retiring from Emory University’s Department of Film and Media Studies I was primarily known as a video artist. My video work was shown has won awards at scores of international and national media events.
In retirement I’ve devoted my attention to the technology 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 consumer goods. The democratization of fine-art painting is upon us.
