Australian Seascape Artist 
Adam Stanley


Adam has been surfing and painting for 35 years, following both passions in an endless search of the perfect wave to surf and paint. 

With endless inspiration on the Australian Coastline, Adam often travels around the country, finding different oceans, water colours, sunsets and headlands that make every place unique. 

His  paintings are done best after surfing or diving, taking in the energy from the ocean and transferring it on to canvas, surfboards, corrugated iron and wine barrels. 

Adam always enjoys painting commissions for people, designing exactly what they want.  He is often invited to paint several commissioned artworks for the one house, setting the tone for each room, whilst providing continual flow throughout the house.
