Martha's Vineyard Map with Tide Demons , Black by Preston McAdoo
Preston McAdoo grew up in Maryland, visiting the Vineyard every summer where his grandfather lived year round. The University of Colorado’s B.F.A. program and the succeeding 10 years saw him painting large abstract expressionist paintings. Then in 1980 he restarted his parents small hooked rug business. Collaborating with his mother and three hired designers, Preston developed thousands of original pictorial and decorative designs over a 26 year period. During that time he traveled the entire country selling his rugs at private showings and various galleries, but the Granary Gallery was always his favorite and most successful venue. He sold the rug business in 2007 in order to return to painting. He lives in North Bennington, Vermont with his wife Cynthia, and they still come often to the island to visit friends and relations. His paintings are shown at the Granary Gallery on Martha’s Vineyard and his rugs are still treasured by many.
