Caroline Adams grew up in West Chester, Pennsylvania. She received her BFA in Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2001. She spent three years studying and teaching printmaking and bookmaking at the Aegean Center for the Fine Arts in Greece, two years in Quito, Ecuador painting and mentoring students, and four years in Frankfurt, Germany painting and working with children’s art classes. Caroline has shown at numerous galleries worldwide, including Calloway Fine Art & Consulting in Washington, DC, Metaxa Gallery in Paros, Greece; Ileana Viteri Gallery in Quito, Ecuador; Artists’ House Gallery in Philadelphia, PA; Shelburne Art Center in Vermont; the Yellow Springs Historical Society in Pennsylvania; and Galerie M50 in Frankfurt, Germany.
“When encircled by a poetry of lines and tones occurring harmoniously in nature, I feel awed and small in the enormous expanse. I see this space not only as a location, but an inspired idea awaiting translation. The concept of being part of something larger compels the ideas and intentions in my work.
While the Greek landscape filled with light and islands, the mid-Atlantic countryside I grew up in, and most recently, the cloud-filled mountains of Ecuador are the inspiration for my artwork, my hope is that the images themselves have become something more universal. My landscapes are paintings and prints meant to give a degree of ambiguity that allows them to provoke a sense of familiarity and calm without presenting a specific location. I am attempting to share my world and give an understanding that these lines, shapes, and subtleties of tone bring me a sense of calm, peace, and awe. I do not wish to offer social discourse; I am simply trying to express beauty.“
