Paul Kirby I feel like I have watched Paul live this book over the 24 years since I first walked into his studio during a lunch break at a drawing workshop where we met as teacher (me) and student (Paul). That first encounter with Dulcinea, his painting machine, started conversations on Renaissance painting, composition and analyses of Old Master paintings which continued in museums all over Europe as Paul joined me on 9 different sketching tours.

Each trip adding concepts that turned into computer code in the hands of an artist/engineer, combining what I feel many would consider to be mutually exclusive. Paul's life is the best example of his book, living a life of purposeful enjoyment in discovery and creativity."

Meet The Original Fusioneer
Paul Kirby

Paul Kirby is an engineer, artist, and visionary. After earning a degree in engineering at UC Berkeley and serving as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, he attended Harvard Business School. There in 1977, a self-assessment test revealed his unique interests in the theoretical /and esthetic domains. With a vision to merge technology and art, Paul experimented and spent his weekends building his first painting robot in 1980–1981 while working at Hewlett-Packard.

Years later in 1994, after a successful career in venture capital, a Leonardo da Vinci exhibit reignited his passion for combining technology and art. He spent the next 25 years building his painting robot, Dulcinea, creating art, and living within the joy of his fused passions.
One day, while giving a tour of his studio to a group of at-risk high school students, Paul was overwhelmed by their enthusiasm for what he was doing. He realized that he had a responsibility to share what he had done to excite and inspire others to follow their own dreams. This led to the formulation of the non-profit, The Kirby Foundation, and The FUSE Pathway. He now dedicates his life to guiding people toward finding their own unique paths, pursuing their dreams, and living fulfilling lives.
