Active painter, printmaker, art historian and writer, Clinton Adams taught at UCLA and other universities since the late 1940s. He joined fellow artist, June Wayne, in co-founding the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in 1960 - an historic event in American printmaking. He became director when Tamarind moved to New Mexico in 1971. His influence has been widely spread through aesthetic creativity and leadership positions. He founded and served as editor of The Tamarind Papers, in addition to writing, editing and publishing widely. Clinton Adams received a Masters degree in 1942 and by 1946, was teaching art at the University of California (Los Angeles). He exhibited watercolors in the annual exhibitions of the California Water Color Society and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Although his watercolors produced in the 1940s and 1950s are works that received awards and notoriety, Adams is best known for his work in the field of lithography. In the early 1960s, he was the Associate Director.
