Born in New York in the sixties, Scott Thomas Duffy displayed artistic talent at a young age, but neglected its development while he pursued other interests. A serious surfing accident at the age of sixteen severed his spinal cord, rendering him quadriplegic with limited arm movement and complete paralysis of his hands.  This unfortunate accident caused his life to turn in a different direction and he pursued his artistic talents.  After years of letter design, web design and portrait drawing he decided to focus on a series of twenty six acrylic paintings titled "Your Data Is The New Gold".
