I’m Adam Brinn. I’m a painter I’m here to create and inspire other creative minds to do their thing.

For the past twenty years, I have worked as a conceptual artist in the fields of sculpture, drawing, and painting. As time reforms my relationship with making, I have come to understand creating art as the sacred act of someone who reaches their hand into a resting sky and pulls the lightning from it. I draw from the field of everything, in an act both creative and divine.
