ARTIST BIOGRAPHY AND STATEMENT
Arthur Roy Adelmann currently resides in Torrey, Utah where he constantly explores the land
and revels in the solitude of the high desert red rock country. Inspiration for his current works,
entitled "Desert Dreams: Tree of Life Series", is deeply ingrained from childhood, arising out
of his love of and close kinship with trees, and very appropriate to his current surroundings
with a great profusion of junipers and pinion pines that doggedly thrive in rock and clay. He
imprints his personal meanings and symbols to the paintings, anticipating that the viewer will
find a like resonance in them.
"My Tree of Life series is not intended as an illustrated compendium of global, social, scientific, mythological
and religious concepts associated with it. The motif is rich and varied, and is included in almost all major
religions. I prefer to slowly and modestly pursue my own visual and philosophical inclinations, my own
subconscious promptings building a personal cosmology."
