Board & Staff

Max Wade

President

For the last fifty plus years I have been consumed with producing, marketing, showing, studying, documenting and teaching art. I have kept copious journals focused on existential, psychological, and metaphysical sensibilities that have developed my visual narrative. It has been and continues to be an interesting ride.

My imagery comes from within. I am of course able to replicate the world around me. I do take breaks from my intellectually demanding work to execute landscapes, portraits, and still life pieces, as well as commission works that often involve coordinating with the client’s vision. However I prefer my narrative wrapped in dream imagery and metaphor. I enjoy poetic and symbolic imagery that allows the viewer to experience a personal interpretation.
