Welcome to Adam's Arts!              

My name is Adam Friesen. I attended Maize High School and was a student at Maize Trans-Net from 2007 to 2010.   I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome when I was very young.  While it made some things kind of hard and frustrating, I found that I really enjoyed working on a computer.  I never planned on becoming a 3D artist - I initially wanted to make 3D games.  When I decided to create images for some of my games, it fueled a passion to create pictures.   I started making more of them and that’s how I ended up with more than 500 pictures starting from early simplistic works to more realistic, high-quality pieces.

Living with Asperger’s has helped with my artwork.  Many with my condition tend to have above average IQs and may be talented in certain things like art, whether it’s on the computer or in traditional mediums such as paints, pastels, or oils.  I tend to be very focused on getting a good result and wanting to perfect the work, whether its spending thirty minutes working on the lighting or even longer because I don’t like the material yet or wanting to move an object so the result is just more pleasing.

My work can be interpreted a number of ways. Some are abstract like neat designs or a somewhat stylized work showing something you may find in the physical world. Sometimes, a place I go to inspires me. A few works even portray my emotions at the time.

My pictures have been displayed at a local art gallery, an art cafe and the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Autism Awareness CARE Walk sponsored by Heartspring.   I was also the featured artist at the Independent Living Center benefit for Kim Peek, aka the Rain Man.  My work is currently on display in the café of the Wichita Art Museum.  A local television station also produced a segment on my art creations in conjunction with the 2009 CARE Walk and I was featured in the July 2010 issue of the Westside Story magazine.

Thank you for stopping by my web site to look at my art.  I really enjoy making my art and I hope you find something you like.  I am still creating pictures and have a lot more that are not presently on this web site, so keep checking back for new and different works.

Adam
