The Center for Coastal Studies on Cape Cod has named Mark Adams as the first Scientist/Artist-In-Residence. Employed by the Cape Cod National Seashore as a cartographer for 30 years, Adams has collaborated frequently on CCS projects as a scientist. Now the Center is thrilled to establish a new chapter in the partnership and Adams will create public programs that merge the Center’s scientific work with the creative arts.

After leaving the National Park Service last year, his focus is on using painting, printmaking and public art installations to instigate an immersive experience of the marine environment. Adams’ art features layered images of maps, personal notebook pages, text, data and images of animals and friends. Adams’ volunteer work with refugee relief organizations has spurred his interest in the intersection of climate change and human ecology. He studied biology, landscape architecture, printmaking and photography at the University of California, Berkeley, the California College of the Arts and he frequently workshops with artists at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown.

Adams also teaches at the Castle Hill Center for the Arts (Truro MA), the Fine Art Work Center, the Provincetown Art & Artist’s Museum and the Provincetown School.
