Hello, here’s a little bit about myself: I am known as a desktop computer art pioneer having adapted digital tools to generate images in the early 1980s. Back then I began to explore what was then new; a graphical hybrid of painting and photography as facilitated by applications written to run on a personal computer. Conceptually my approach to imaging could be called 'Geometrical Surrealism'. My artist’s DNA includes to the influences of Salvador Dali and M.C. Escher. In this synthesis, I have found my own style. I combine figuration with geometrical abstraction. I am interested in working with models who are open to being rendered in realistic as well as surrealistic ways. I work in both still imagery and video.

Born in Los Angeles, I later studied studio art and art history at The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, 1977-1978. I continued my undergraduate studies at ArtCenter College of Design, Pasadena, CA 1979-1981. I later taught as an adjunct professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, 1997-2008. My work is included in the Anne and Michael Spalter Digital Art Collection and the Patric Prince Computer Art Collection housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

My work has been featured in many digital art history books; most notably Moving Innovation: A History of Computer Animation (Tom Sito, MIT Press, 2013); The World of Digital Art (Wolf Lieser, h.f. Ullman, 2010); From Technological to Virtual Art (Frank Popper, MIT Press 2007); and Art of the Digital Age (Bruce Wands, Thames and Hudson, 2006).

In November 2022, I published a 400-page career survey monograph called ACEVEDO in Context: Analog media: 1977-1987 • Digital media: 1983-2020.
