Alasdair Adam

From company director to artist, Alasdair has transformed a successful 22-year career in the events industry into a passion for painting. As a leader in the field, he organized a wide range of unique and memorable events for blue-chip companies.

Having traveled the world, including to the Serengeti—famed for its breathtaking sunsets—Alasdair discovered that Brighton’s skies hold a beauty of their own. The ever-changing colors, shapes, and moods of the sky continue to be a source of fascination and inspiration.

Alasdair is particularly known for his paintings of Brighton’s West Pier, one of the most iconic wrecks in the UK and a beloved local landmark. Working with both oil and acrylic, he finds that oils best capture the seamless blending of colors in the sky’s ever-shifting palette.

His inspiration to start painting in the first place? Like many artists today, he was captivated by the great Bob Ross on daytime TV in the 1980s.
