​Adam Tetzlaff

Adam was born and raised in Big Rapids, Michigan. He earned his BFA in painting from Grand Valley State University. Upon graduation he spent many years living and painting in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area.

In 2011 he and his wife packed their belongings and relocated to Sarasota, Florida.

Although still creatively nourished by nature, he paints palm trees instead of maple trees.

"Grace" (the above painting) is Adam's latest work completed in the Autumn of 2021. As promised, this painting is based on visual beauty and spiritual growth. However, it psychologically leans toward emptiness as there is no figure (or figures) present.




Inherit, acrylic on canvas, 21" x 52 1/2", 2016

Grace, acrylic on canvas, 10 1/4" x 25 1/4", 2021

Not to be confused with any other Adam Tetzlaff who may be involved in visual communication. This page refers solely to the creator of "fine art" acrylic paintings and ink drawings consisting of figures and landscapes.

"The greatest blessing procured through painting is finding that which is constant amidst a whirlwind of change."
