Adam Dresden

Adam focused on studio art during his college career, and received an Art Education degree from William Woods University in 2009.  Discovering a passion for the arts at a later stage in life, Adam decided to focus primarily on drawing and painting, particularly with the figure.  Adam attended Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville and received a Masters in Education with an emphasis in Art.  He feels that some of the most challenging elements in the world of art are to capture a person’s true being or essence, thus making the figure a very challenging and rewarding test.  He currently teaches art at the high school level, but within the near future plans to be working and creating in the comic book industry.  For more information visit his website:  www.adamdresden.comJoin Adam on Monday, October 26 & Tuesday, October 27 for his class Zombies & Horror Art Classes, 5:30pm-7:30pm, $35 per session, Ages 16+.
