He was born in Tweedmouth, England. He studied art in Paris (under August Delecluse), in Glasgow (under Robert Brydall and Greenlees), and in Buenos Aires. Adam immigrated to Boston during the late 19th century. In 1894, he moved to California, where he settled in Pacific Grove on the Monterey Peninsula. Since he gave art lessons from his cottage in Pacific Grove, he was known as "Professor" Adam. Adam was a member of the Boston Art Club and the Glasgow Art Club. He received medals when he exhibited at the California State Fairs. He also exhibited at Del Monte Art Gallery from 1907 to 1912, at the Berkeley Art Association in 1908, and at the Sorosis Club in 1913. His work is in the Silverado Museum of Saint Helena, California, the Santa Cruz Art Museum, the Shasta State Historical Monument, and in the collection of the City of Monterey.
