Jonathan David MacAdam is an internationally known artist who was born in London and lived there ten years before coming to the United States. He is a graduate of Gordon College in Wenham, Mass., where he studied painting and sculpture with a concentration in painting. MacAdam also studied Italian Renaissance art, literature, and architecture in Orvieto, Italy. Recently, he traveled throughout England, Ireland, and Scotland where he painted commissioned landscapes. He has many paintings in private collections throughout New England. MacAdam’s exhibit will feature recent paintings which are reflections at dusk on gardens and fields. MacAdam focuses on ambiguous moments of movement. The landscape is seen from the perspective of a moment of flux. The images invite contemplation of the subtleties of the land and invoke wonder at the familiar. His recent paintings are on view at Tower Hill Botanic Garden, 11 French Drive, Boylston, through July 28, and you may meet him at an artist’s reception on Thursday, June 27, from 6 – 7:30. The reception is free and open to the public. For directions, visit www.towerhillbg.org.
