IN HIS 90th year, Phillip Island artist John Adam is enjoying a purple patch. He has completed a major commission for the new Cowes Community Hospital and celebrated the return of his historical mural of Phillip Island to public view in Cowes.
Next month Berninneit Gallery will host Vision and Reality, a retrospective of his works dating back over 70 years, including works completed this year.
“I’ve been very lucky,” Adam says simply. “I've been able to keep doing it. There are periods when I get depressed, but I've never stopped painting.”
