Paul Addams was born in Cleveland in 1926. He served in the military in World War II and the Korean War, and studied afterwards at Ohio State University on the GI Bill, receiving his BFA in 1954. After working at various careers he started painting full-time in the 1970s, and continued to do so until the 1990s.
His paintings show clearly his primary interest with geometric form and architectural design, and although he produced a large number of paintings he chose never to exhibit his work, painting only for his own personal satisfaction. Paul Addams died in 2009.
