Wayman Adams

Contemporary American painter. Born in Muncie, Ind., he studied at the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis and later with Chase and Henri. He painted street scenes in Spain and then in San Francisco and New Orleans, but is best known for the portrait painting to which he later turned. His portraits are bravura impressions in the tradition of Sargent and Chase.

  • The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work. Emile Zola
The arts are fundamental to our humanity. They ennoble and inspire us—fostering creativity, goodness, and beauty. The arts help us express our values, build bridges between cultures, and bring us together regardless of ethnicity, religion, or age. When times are tough, art is salve for the ache.
