server in the basement or in the cloud?

Companies across the globe are engaging in what seems to be the great IT debate of this decade: cloud or on-premise? As the need for ample storage and bandwidth grows, and as businesses become more mobile, there’s a strong demand for a solution that can address these challenges. At the same time, powerful regulations often trump all other decision points. Will enterprise software be delivered in the cloud, or locally installed appliances?

Artist Statement
In a culture in which people are easily lured by the appeal of status-enhancing symbols, I find beauty in derelict cars and unkempt landscapes. I have always been interested in painting vehicles and scenes that have defined the evolution of the American landscape.

I commemorate commercial vehicles inundated with graffiti and rust, working vehicles, and well-traveled recreational vehicles. I find that there is so much character in old delivery trucks and vans — especially when covered with graffiti — and in the old RVs parked off a main road. Removing them from their everyday context gives them portrait-like importance. I paint with devoted attention to every imperfection and sign of age.
