Art by Adam Saiter
As someone who loves to learn new things, I've always tried to cultivate a tendency towards polymathy. This devotion to knowledge led me to pursue the sciences academically. I graduated from Webster University with a B.S. in Computer Science, where my emphasis was in relational database design and information management, as well as a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Management. I've also taught myself a not insubstantial amount of psychopharmacology, physical science, and economic/financial theory.
I currently hold a number of IT certifications and work in the Network Engineering department of a financial services company. I also serve my fellow employees as a union shop steward, doing what I can to resolve conflicts between management and employees.
Ideally, I prefer to prevent conflicts from becoming major issues in the first place.
As someone who believes that ethical and moral action is of greater importance than any theology, I am a Founding Member of the Mid Rivers Ethical Society. I'm proud to serve on their governing council, where I try to put my knowledge, experience, and abilities to use to help the Society grow and ensure its continuing influence on the community.
My interest in the arts started some time ago, when I began using paint and canvas to express thoughts, feelings, and emotions that I had difficulty putting into words. My activity was intermittent until the past couple years, when I decided to pursue art more seriously and develop a true body of work that was expressive of myself and my style. I've been pleasantly surprised at how well my work has been received.
I draw upon my background and interests for inspiration for my paintings. My thirst for knowledge and understanding of the world around me led to my fascination with the sciences; likewise my desire to know and understand myself leads me to pursue the arts. Not surprisingly, the two areas have great opportunity for overlap.
I enjoy working with incompatible solvents, plastic resin, wire, salt, twine, and other unusual combinations of materials to create highly textured and richly colored abstract paintings. I try to create a more organic and emotional feel, in contrast to the mechanical and cold visual experience often encountered in abstract work. The extent to which I achieve that goal, however, is up to the viewer to determine.
