Working in oils for twenty five years, Peter Adams has painted portraits as well as urban landscapes.  He has developed his own distinctive and expressive style and is now mostly inspired by the dramatic rural landscape that surrounds him.  He is drawn to the interplay between order and chaos, grace and tragedy, mystery and clarity.  Often exploring the symbiotic and regenerative powers of the natural world, he is especially interested in the realm in which human and natural worlds meet - both in harmony and in opposition.

Peter Adams was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and has lived most of his life in Toronto.  He currently lives with his two young children on a farm south of Creemore, Ontario.  His work is exhibited in many galleries in Ontario, and can be found in many private and public collections in North America and abroad.
