Alonzo Adams was born in Harlem in 1961. He spent many hours as a young child drawing. His mother recalls him spending a special day in the city with his father to go shopping. Alonzo's father told him he could buy whatever he wanted. His mother expected him to get some school clothes and shoes or sneakers or something and was quite surprised to see him return with a big smile and only a pack of white paper to draw on.

Alonzo continued drawing and went on to receive a B.F.A. from Rutgers University, Mason Gross School of the Arts, and later, with a Camille O. Cosby Fellowship, an M.F.A. from University of Pennsylvania. He is inspired by such greats as Charles White, Henry O. Tanner, L'hermitte, John Singer Sargent and Rembrandt and has traveled throughout Europe to study the work in museums there.

With over 25 years as a professional artist, Alonzo has garnered numerous awards and accolades. He has been featured in such publications as Art Business News, Black Enterprise, Images, Homes of Color, Upscale, Uptown and ESPN Magazines as well as the New York Times, Star Ledger, Courier News and other regional newspapers.
