Adam Crowley makes paintings in the landscape and still life genre. His work explores concepts of beauty, fear, sadness, hope, frustration, deep-time, and tradition. Originally beginning his photo based work with the idea of removal of the self and monastic transcription of imagery, he has recently come to realize the necessity of beauty and the importance of dialogue between artist and environment. When he isn’t painting, he works at an Art Museum and helps raise a sustainable food garden with his wife and daughter. He lives in Kansas City, Missouri.
