Take a private tour of artist Adam Wolpert’s personal studio and the Occidental Art and Ecology Center’s land and facilities.
Adam Wolpert’s painting reflects a lifelong engagement with nature. His varied imagery explores themes of cycles, relationships, and balance while investigating the subtle distinction between the representational and the abstract. His earlier naturalistic outdoor work speaks of his relationship with the land, in particular his home in West Sonoma County at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center, where he is a co-founder. Wolpert has an affiliation with the Sonoma Four, having exhibited with them in 2013. Adam’s work is featured in the Museum’s current art exhibition, Landscape: Awe to Activism.
The Occidental Arts & Ecology Center (OAEC) is an 80-acre research, demonstration, education, advocacy, and community-organizing center in West Sonoma County, California that develops strategies for regional-scale community resilience and the restoration of biological and cultural diversity.
