Galahs, Leaves and Limbs

Philip Adams was born in Brighton, Victoria, Australia in 1947 and has lived in Bung Bong, Central Victoria since 1972. He taught art at Maryborough Technical College for many years on a part time basis while pursuing his own career as a landscape artist. Adams is inspired by the landscape and explains: 'What I want to capture is the excitement of exploring a new landscape. Everything is to be discovered, the senses are sharpened, and each vista is full of untold mysteries and beauties from the minute mosses, fungi, wildflowers, and insects to panoramic views of forests, cliffs and mountains. My practice of meditation renews my vision. Coming from that point of inner calm it is easy to appreciate the exquisite beauty of the natural environment.'
