Adam hosts first exhibit since 2006

An ex­hi­bi­tion of re­cent paint­ings by Mary Adam opened at the Art So­ci­ety of Trinidad in Fed­er­a­tion Park on Tues­day.

The next day, ad­mir­ers of Adam's art were treat­ed with a cock­tail re­cep­tion at the same venue.

Adam was born in Ire­land and stud­ied med­i­cine. She has been liv­ing in Trinidad since 1973 and start­ed paint­ing and draw­ing in 1975.

In the late 1970s her work was shown at sev­er­al Trinidad Art So­ci­ety ex­hi­bi­tions. Al­though she has been par­tic­i­pat­ing in group ex­hi­bi­tions for many years and has had two pre­vi­ous so­lo shows, this is her first ma­jor ex­hi­bi­tion since 2006.

Adam's paint­ings are in pri­vate col­lec­tions lo­cal­ly, the Unit­ed States, Cana­da, the Unit­ed King­dom and Ire­land.

Draw­ing is the main­spring of her work, usu­al­ly draw­ing from life or mem­o­ry, al­most nev­er from pho­tographs. She us­es many dif­fer­ent me­dia for draw­ing–cray­on, char­coal, lith­o­graph cray­on, pen and ink, pen­cil, pas­tels, or what­ev­er comes to hand. She ap­proach­es paint­ing through pre­lim­i­nary sketch­es and stud­ies.
