"Dorkat Motel" Painting

Please Note:

This Saatchi Art profile, "ajperriello", focuses on my Representational styles of art. The Saatchi Art profile "nextcenturyart" focuses on my Abstract styles of art. I create with both of these styles in parallel.

I have learned that my Abstract and Representational styles function the best online as independent accounts, profiles, websites, and social media. This makes it easier for my audience to view, and for me to organize.

About Me:
I began drawing, early in life. My father was a commercial artist. The "art gene" is in my bloodline. I have learned and improved over the years through practice and self-learning.

I try to balance the analytic and creative. My education is diverse, with a B.A. in English and Studio Arts, and a B.S. in Computer Science. 

I have lived in England, Iowa, Florida, and Long Island.


While in my twenties, I worked a handful of trades at miscellaneous jobs. Since my early thirties, I have been a software engineer, including over twenty years of employment between Eastman Kodak in Rochester, then HBO in NYC/Long Island. 

Writing code and working on my art keep me focused and busy.

Currently, I live and work in my house/studio, a Charles Eastlake Gothic Revival, in Rochester, NY. 

I ponder the study of consciousness and quantum physics.

My hobbies include: reading, writing, guitar, movies, running, resistance training, NFL Football (Buffalo Bills fan).
