Ron Adams enthusiasm for drawing the human figure is
matched only by his reverence for technical excellence in whatever medium he
might be working. Adam’s,
formerly a master printer at Gemini G.E.L., opened the Hand Graphics Atelier in
1974. He collaborated on both
lithographs and etchings with artists such as Charles White, Jasper Johns,
Robert Rauschenberg, Ellsworth Kelly, John Biggers, Judy Chicago, Luis Jimenez
and many others. He retired from printing, and sold Hand Graphics to Michael
Costello in 1987, in order to focus on his own artistic career.
