Digital Fine Art by Tom Greenbaum
About the Artist
Tom graduated from the University of Florida College of Architecture in 1981 with a focus on computer aided design (CAD). For the next ten years he gained practical experience with CAD and three-dimensional (3D) design in the field of architecture. During this period, photo-realistic images depicting complex architectural designs, became a highly-respected (and expected) output of the design process. This was the start of Tom's long-term relationship with CAD tools such as AutoCAD and 3D Studio.
Tom's interest in CAD and all things digital expanded into the value-added-reseller (VAR) business. Tom obtained certifications as a trainer for several CAD tools including AutoCAD. Tom provided services to architectural and engineering clients for installation, training, consulting and customization of high-end CAD systems. During this time Tom also produced 3D photo-realistic renderings, engineering visualizations and fly-through animations for a variety of architecture and engineering projects.
The next step in Tom's career was a departure from the architectural and engineering design fields; to become involved with software application development and information technologies. Tom currently is a Senior Software Engineer with Intel Corporation.
3D computer-generated images are now a source of artistic expression for Tom. The skills that Tom once used to create precise visualizations for architecture and engineering projects are now liberated from the requirements of pragmatism and serve to create inspiring digital fine art pieces.
While Tom's left-brain work with computers dominates his work day at Intel, he strives for work-life balance and also uses the computer to nurture his right-brain, creative needs. It is Tom's hope that these art pieces will bring enjoyment to others as it brings balance to his own life.
