A self-taught artist, Adam (aka "Wizard", "Dr Bang", and "Hey, you") enjoys creating in his home studio where he is often found working in a variety of visual art media, primarily paints, charcoal, pen and ink and anything else he can get his hands on. A lifelong resident of Upstate NY ( yes, there is life north of Albany), he has been an artist since his first box of Crayolas melted in the sun. After graduating from high school and squandering his art school money over the Summer, he combined an interest in cars with his passion for art and studied autobody repair and painting, ultimately receiving an AAS and diving into the design of custom paint schemes and metal fabrication for cars. Around the same time, Adam was introduced to a local band who, impressed with his enthusiasm and talent (and the fact that he had a truck) hired him on as a rodie/drum-tech and artistic director. In other words, he drove the truck and designed their posters and CD covers. But bands come and go (and sometimes move to Texas), so Adam continued painting cars and also began self-publishing a local 'zine, "The New Blood", as an outlet for his rants, poetry and art. Time marches on and Adam, seeking a more creative outlet, entered the wacky world of radio and then television where he has been for the last decade in various roles including set building, videographer and director. Always seeking out new ways of making art, he has ventured into filmmaking and recently completed the featurette, "The Adventures of King Smiley". Adam is married and continues to make art a priority in his life. He is a member of the Saratoga County Arts Council and displays his work at area shows throughout the year. HOME
