artist profile
Adrian Ward completed his Arts Degree at Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne before traveling to the Far North Coast and has lived there for the past 10 years. After completing his personal folio, he has expanded his artwork into the landscape of the town and surrounding areas.
“I center my attention on manipulating the stuff of the world, to create reflective insights of reality and other possibilities.” Says Adrian.
Adrian describes himself as a “Conceptual Artisan” who is working towards realizing his creative dreams, with skill and dedication to achieving his sculpture visions.
With this approach, Adrian is open to artistic enterprises in and outside the art context, which can bring creativity into the everyday.
