Jimmy O'Neal (born 1967, Atlanta Ga.) He was classically trained in "painting" at an early age, with interest in physics, science and biology. He was offered a scholarship to attend Savannah College of Art and Design in 1985. There he started showing work professionally in major galleries his second year of college. O'Neal lectures to diverse groups nationally and internationally such as museums, college universities, architects, designers, galleries and children. His interest in sparking the creative mind has led him down many paths exploring diverse medium while maintaining a strength in classical forms. This has also led him to develop such technological artworks as "brain machine", a device that paints from EEG connections to the artist. At TEDxKatuah, Jimmy O'Neal shares some of his work and influences that bridge the art-science divide.
