We are proud to welcome Otterbein alum and artist Adam Kolp to the Becker Gallery!

“Coming to terms with the fact that I was losing my eyesight was actually when I first began to see the world much more clearly. We often spend our days over scheduled with things to do and places to be. Consumed by brief memories of what something was or the thought of what it could have been, we then quickly move on to the next pressing moment. We can easily get caught up living in this rapid paced blur, and unknowingly are missing out on the incredible beauty that surrounds us in any given moment. I realize that losing my eyesight was a wakeup call. I needed to take the time to see the world we live in. It is such a beautiful and inspiring gift to have the opportunity to slow down and appreciate every moment and each amazing experience. This was the turning point for who I am now and the artist that I have become.” Adam’s artwork is inspired by life and everything that we can potentially experience in our daily lives.

You can view Works by Adam Kolp at the Becker Gallery on the lower level of the library throughout the Spring 2025 semester
