Born and raised in Southern California, Adam grew up in a Dutch/Indonesian family, skateboarding, surfing, and making art. He studied painting, Spanish, and Western Art History while attending UCSB and the Severini School of Art in Cortona, Italy. Over the past five years he has traveled extensively throughout Central America, Colombia, Spain and Indonesia, and has built a strong studio practice and exhibition record. His recent paintings deal with cultural hybridity in the present day and are records of the events, relationships, and theatrics he experiences in daily life. He currently lives in Washington, DC where he works as an artist and exhibition specialist at the Art Museum of the Americas. He plans to continue his fine art education at The Chelsea College of Art in London this fall. In 2007, Adam taught Drawing and Painting with Putney Foundations in Costa Rica. He taught Art History and Art of Sketch in 2011 with Excel Madrid/Barcelona.
