ADAM COLLISON
Freelance Artist
Private and Gallery sales in the Baltimore, Portland and New York communities
I am a classically trained artist with a wide variety of interests. My own work ranges from the figurative, with an integration of European and American influences, to the abstract, accepting a wider range of influences with a focus on minimalism and action. I am confident around tools and equipment and have a broad range of experience in this area. I have worked in almost every aspect of the art world and am very comfortable around studio and gallery settings.
