"My art evokes the natural beauty of coastal New England, the ocean; the beaches and the wild life are my constant inspiration. I strive to pare down and find the essence of my subject by abstracting shapes and exaggerating color. Color and shape is the language I use to capture the feeling, mood, or impression of my subject matter. I find straddling the edges of realism and abstraction the most exciting and challenging aspect of my art." Phyllis Dobbs Adams
