Biography

Adam Gabriel Winnie was born in 1981 in the American Midwest, as part of the last generation of artists to come of age without the omnipresence of the internet. He works across drawing, painting, photography, video, and sound, approaching the studio as a hermetic field of inquiry rather than a set of discrete media.

His formal education unfolded gradually, resulting in associate (Photography, WCC, 2009), undergraduate (Painting - BFA, SCAD 2012) and graduate degrees (Drawing, MFA, GSU 2023) in fine art, earned across different phases of life. Between these degrees and after, his autodidactic nature continues to develop this education alongside labor, loss, and persistence.

Adam has participated in solo and group exhibitions across the United States, including The Bo Bartlett Center in Columbus, GA; Whitespace Gallery in Atlanta, GA; Field Projects in Chelsea, New York; the Marietta-Cobb Museum of Art; the Sylvia White Gallery in Ventura, California; The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art in New Paltz, New York; The Vendue in Charleston, South Carolina, among others. His works are a part of the Art Collection at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, the Judge Realty Corporate Collection, The Savannah College of Art & Design Permanent Collection, and numerous private collections across the country. His grant list includes, South Arts Creative Practice Grant, The Artists’ Fellowship, The Haven Foundation, and Change Incorporated. Winnie’s work has also been featured in two editions of New American Paintings, #166 South and #172 South. Adam has also participated residencies at the Burren Collage of Art in Ireland in 2022 and the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences in 2026.

Adam Gabriel Winnie has lived and worked in Georgia since 2009.
