Philip Adams

Philip Adams was born in Melbourne on 1st of June 1947. After completing a Diploma of Painting at the Caulfield Institute he moved to London to paint full time. Drawing on influences after years of travel through Europe, Africa, North America and an overland adventure from England to India, Philip returned to Victoria in 1972 to take up a teaching position at Maryborough Tec. Now settled, he built a mud brick home and studio. Sadly, his beloved studio and his paintings were destroyed in the Maryborough bush fire - he rebuilt and resumed painting. In 1996 he left teaching to become a full time professional artist and started to produce a prolific quantity of paintings of the highest quality and has exhibited almost continuously since 1989 in galleries all around Victoria and the rest of the country. He is represented in private collections in England, France, Germany, Japan, USA, Canada, New Zealand and of course Australia.
