long Bio
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.
