Gregory Adamson is an artist, entertainer, philanthropist, teacher, and public speaker who has taken his “Facing the Music” performance painting across the U.S. and abroad, performing at a variety of events including charity fundraisers, corporate events, conventions, fairs, festivals, concerts and private functions. Highlights of his performance career include performing at concerts with popular recording artists, a special performance in London for officials during the Olympics, and a performance at Capitol Records honoring the memory of John Lennon. His performance paintings have raised more than $1 million in auction proceeds at fundraising events with individual paintings auctioning for as much as $100,000.

Greg; "I am in love with the process of creative exploration and discovery, both internal and external. I work with a variety of paint media and other materials, applied and manipulated on a surface. There are times my work is studied, deliberate and observational, but often it is playful, intuitive, and very abstract. Still other times, it is deeply personal with only symbolic representation. In my performances, it is about channeling energy from the music and an enthusiastic audience onto the canvas.

In all cases, love is the overarching theme of my work. I rarely drift into the darker issues of our times, but rather strive always to make my work a celebration of the good. Influences of my rural, Midwestern childhood are omnipresent in my work, as is my faith in a loving God. Over a period of many years I have cultivated an alignment of my life and my art in order to attain and maintain authenticity in both. I also possess a strong, lifelong commitment to service, whether using my work to benefit important causes or teaching and mentoring other artists.

Dale O’Dell was born in Dallas, Texas in 1959. He was given his first camera at the age of 13 and at that moment he knew what he wanted to do in life. As a teen, photography was the perfect blend of art and science and Dale immersed himself in the aesthetics and chemistry of the photographic process. In 1982 he received a degree in Photography from Sam Houston State University. After a series of irritating Corporate Jobs (including a year-long stint as a computer artist --in 1983, no less) he realized that, in the corporate world at least, he was unemployable and opened his own studio in 1986.

During his early years, Dale became familiar with virtually every photographic process and used them all at one time or another. As one of the early adopters of digital technology, one of Dale’s early digital images made history in 1983 when it became the first wholly computer-generated image published in advertising.

In 1994 Dale moved from Houston, Texas, to Prescott, in the mountains of central Arizona. Since transitioning from Analog Photography to Digital Art Dale’s artworks have been extensively exhibited and published world-wide. Since 1997 Dale has published over a dozen photography books. 

Dale accepts both fine-art and commercial commissions. As a fine artist Dale has exhibited in over one-hundred group and solo exhibitions; as a commercial photographer he’s produced photography and photo/digital illustration for an international clientele including many of the Fortune 500 companies. Dale also provides stock photography. He’s also a writer and has written for many magazines including Photo District News, PC Photo, E-Digital Photo, LensWork, Professional Photographer and many others. Dale is also a motorcyclist and occasional musician.

Inside The Office
During grad school, Dr. Nick suffered a boating injury to his leg and foot. He was told he would have to rehabilitate for 6 months just to be able to hike again. He was also informed that climbing would be out of the question, permanently. Thanks to the Chiropractic Doctors at Southern Califonia University of Health Sciences, he was able to resume hiking in two months and climbing within the fourth month. It was an eye-opening experience for the lives he was about to change in his chosen profession. It led him into studying sports medicine during his internship within the Cal State athletic department.

After college, Dr. Nick settled into family practice and begin to work with athletes of all ages and abilities. When his daughter Ella was born, he was told that she would need to be on acid reflux medications indefinitely and that surgery was likely. His focus shifted from sports medicine to holistic family and pediatric chiropractic. In a short time, he was able to witness his daughter’s miraculous recovery without the use of medications or surgery.  She was living congruent to a natural chiropractic lifestyle and thriving.

These experiences as well as many other experiences within his family practice shaped his vision for a healthy lifestyle available to all his practice members.

Outside the Office
Dr. Nick loves spending time outdoors and is an avid camper, climber and hiker. He also enjoys spending quality time with his family and friends on the river, in the desert, and most of all in the mountains.

We love families and take total delight in seeing our practice members living lives of abundant health. Contact our office today; we’re open late and accept same-day appointments!

The Museum of Indigenous People (MIP) is the only museum in the Greater Prescott Area devoted to the culture and art of Native people. 

Our mission is “To instill understanding and respect for the indigenous cultures of the southwest.” We are governed by our Board of Trustees and have three full-time employees, two additional staff, and a dedicated volunteer base. Several of our workforce are of Native heritage, and we rely on them and our Native advisors to help further our mission and vision.

The stone buildings on the campus are on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum construction was completed in 1935 by a non-Native, community-minded social group, the Smoki People, with assistance from depression-era work program participants. The museum took the name of its founders. In February 2020, the museum was renamed to best reflect the cultural resources in our holdings as well as the Native community we serve. The MIP is a venue where the Native voice is heard and appreciated! 

On exhibit are pre-historic, historic, and contemporary examples of Indian cultural and artistic material from the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Our focus is to enlighten the public and broaden their knowledge of the Native cultures of this part of the world, irrespective of political boundaries.
