Adam beside Gaasknazo Gete Mitg
Adam Connolly is an award winning wildlife artist who works exclusively from found wood gathered in a conscientious manner. He loves the inspiration, creative lines, texture and memories that can only be found in this wood source. Born in Nova Scotia in 1964, he has been intrigued by Mother Nature since his early childhood and has spent much of his youth closely studying her forms and lines. It was his love of nature that propelled Adam to earn his degree in Fish and Wildlife Management at Sir Sanford Fleming College in Lindsay, Ontario and learn more about the physical anatomy of wildlife.

Adam's work is featured in private collections in England, Belgium, France and Trinidad, as well as coast-to-coast in Canada.
