Peter Adams, Red River Series #1: Yangtze

Peter Adams is an award winning painter born in Glasgow, Scotland. Raised in Toronto, he currently lives and works in Collingwood, Ontario. He has a film degree from Queen’s University, but now directs all of his creative energy towards his visual art practice. Much of his landscape work focuses on realms in which human and natural worlds meet, both in harmony and opposition. Adams has received numerous grants from the Ontario Arts Council and has been invited to participate in residencies in diverse landscapes from the Amazon rainforest of Brazil to the High Arctic of the Svalbard Archipelago. His works have been shortlisted for both the Salt Spring National Art Prize and the Kingston National Portrait Prize.
