Michael Killen has been invited to display his paintings for the 4th year in a row at the Silicon Valley Energy Summit 2015 at Stanford. As he was reviewing paintings that would be relevant to the June 25 event he rediscovered his Liberty Fused to Coal and Oil. The painting was inspired by the thought of how difficult it will be for the US Congress to help us off coal and oil when it realizes the use of those sources of energy can do us in.

Jim Sweeney, Director of the Precourt Energy Efficiency Center at Stanford who hosts the event that will draw 400 attendees said, “It is an understatement that Michael’s art is easy to read. However, his work and his presence at our event helps to enrich it for attendees and sponsors.”
Michael is presently developing the ‘Dire Consequences: Send in the Clowns series of paintings and film. Paintings that bring attention to two under reported developments will be at the Energy Summit 2015. michael@killen.com
