George J. E. Sakkal created his first collage while attending the School of Architecture at Texas A&M University in 1962. For over fifty years, his avocation has been the practice of Fine Art. In addition to winning several national and regional competitions and exhibiting his work throughout the Baltimore/Washington D.C. region, he has lectured and taught collage and his discovery, CUVISM, at two faculties including the University of Maryland's Community College in Columbia, Maryland. Sakkal has served as a Peace Corps volunteer architect from 1966 to 68 and an Associate Peace Corps Director from 1968 to 1971 both in Iran. He has a Bachelor in Architecture, and a Master in City Planning from Harvard's Graduate School of Design. His first article, The Problem with Post Modern Art Theory, was published by the American Arts Quarterly Journal in the summer of 2009. Examining the validity of the theories of contemporary art's Postmodern era resulted in his first book, CUVISM (Cognitive Unconscious Visual Creativity): The Human Creative Response, published in 2015.
