Adam Triplett was born in Richmond, Virginia. He received his BFA in both Painting & Printmaking, and Sculpture from Virginia Commonwealth University. He pursued a minor in English and graduated from the Honors College. Diverse in style as he is in media: subjects have been expressionist energy, minimalist meditations, and classic portraiture and landscape.  A traditional print designer for over ten years, photographer, music writer and performer, his first love is paint and mark making. “Adam is a meta-referencing, photographic Giacometti writing visual poems” say his supporters.

Adam has worked in every position in the restaurant business and learned scratch Continental techniques first in the kitchen. He was the front man for a rock band, Calpurnia, between 2004-2009. A practitioner of Kung Fu with Richmond’s East-West Wing Chun since 2012, he now instructs the art. His favorite authors are Tom Robbins, Ray Bradbury, Ralph Ellison, Haruki Murakami, Emerson, Thoreau, Harville Hendrix, Marshall McLuhan, Toni Morison, Naomi Klein. You can find Adam training in the city with boxing gloves or waiting tables on the weekends.
