Nature inspires my work and most recently Monet's water lily paintings. The journey to my current work simply started out painting trees and clouds. As I became more confident, my pieces became more and more realistic. Today, I am on a new path of abstracting nature with the same goals of creating depth with high contrasts. Using a wax medium, I layer on color and remove, then reapply. This causes a great tension in my paintings, the same tension found in nature and in ourselves. Adam was born and raised in Battle Creek, Michigan and attended Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan.
