We have always been consumers of visual information and with increasing rapidity we are being bombarded with visual stimulation. But what do we really see? What do we remember? What is important? It is through the permanence of paint that what we see can be retained. Jeff Greene, President of EverGreene Architectural Arts, will discuss the evolution of paint and pigment and its influence on our perception of the surrounding world. From Paleolithic cave paintings to Contemporary street art, Greene maps out how the implementation of paint affects our built environment and ourselves. 

Over the last three decades, Jeff Greene, President and founder of EverGreene, has led large-scale interior conservation, restoration, and new design work for public and sacred spaces in every historic architectural style from coast to coast. His formal education was at the Art Institute of Chicago, and he received a Fresco Scholarship to the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture. His continuing education has included a broad range of experiences and training opportunities all over the world. Throughout his career, he has revived artistic and decorative techniques by learning from aging masters in the U.S. and abroad, studying old publications and experimenting tirelessly.
