Biography
Back when James Taylor moved out to the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, Adam’s parents moved into a converted summer cottage nearby with two cows, fourteen chickens and no bathroom.They raised Adam on all organic farm food and a peace-loving mentality.
Years later, after his parents sloughed off their Homseteader yoke and joined corporate America, Adam was enrolled in private school, and continued on to a liberal arts education that he uses often. He moved to Oregon where he recreated his image rebelling against his youth. This is when he discovered the wonder of the cheeseburger, vintage motorcycles, and hip urban life. After getting a job welding with the sculptor, Bruce West, Adam discovered the art world. At first the job was just that; a job. One day a collector offered Adam a thousand dollars for a piece that he had put together after hours... the job became a carreer.
Today
Adam has found some middle ground. A balance of a rural past now in the
small city of Portland, Maine. He takes note of his tattoo souvenirs from
his early twenties and the urban jungle, on his way to his favorite river
to fly fish for Maine's famous trout and salmon. Energy and creativity
once spent on image and super ego are now spent on making sculpture with
organic lines and balance and a life with the same qualities. Like our
state motto says "Maine, the way life should be."
