Biography

Adam Gabriel Winnie (b. Michigan, 1981) is an interdisciplinary artist and educator based in Decatur, Georgia. While realist drawing has notably become the core of his praxis, Adam’s creative process is informed by the expanded field of art which he extends to painting, photography, video, and sound. Through a combination of archetypal symbolism and uncanny aesthetics, his work draws inspiration from narrative themes found in ancient mythologies in which journeys of a transformative nature confront the unknown within the depths of the psyche.

Winnie is a 2012 graduate of the Savannah College of Art & Design with a BFA concentration in painting and a 2023 MFA graduate of Georgia State University’s Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design with a concentration in drawing.
