Adam James Dano is from a small country town in
Washington State called Moses Lake. He began painting
and drawing at an early age with the help of his mother
who doodled for him as a toddler. Adam didn’t really get
serious about painting until he was about 15. His high
school art teacher, Mr Craig Skeesick, helped him pick up
the paints. He was then accepted into Cornish College of
the Arts, but he dropped out after three years because his
scholarship finished, and he couldn’t afford it himself. He
wanted to travel. He ended up moving to St Croix in the
Caribbean for a while, then Idaho before finally moving
down to California. Adam now lives in Long Beach, CA
where he paints and is a husband and a father of two.
