Adam brings all the things with him (minus the kitchen sink) for this unique show. His vibrant mixed media collages focusing on color and pattern, pen and ink portraits of “people” real and imagined, collaborations with other artists, and his latest obsession- hand carved wooden spoons. Pieces old, new, and divergent. A fun showing from one of West MIchigan's most talented artists.
