afternoon light on the refuge

Adam was born in Lytham St. Annes in 1970. He lives in Blackpool and is interested in pleinair and still life painting. He prefers to paint from direct observation. Pleinair works are sometimes completed in one go, but often need more sessions. Still life works can be set up or found, and are a much slower process. Adam’s paintings can sometimes be seen as quirky, both in their execution and subject matter.

Adam has recently been elected a full member of the ‘Royal Institute of Oil Painters’. He’s also a member of the ‘Manchester Academy Of Fine Arts’, the outdoor painting group the ‘Northern Boys’, and the ‘British Plein Air Painters’. He exhibits regularly at the Mall Galleries.
