Early life
Derrick Adams was born in 1970 in Baltimore, Maryland. From an early age, his "visual sensibility" was influenced by the women in his family. In an interview with Marcia G, Yerman, he explained that, "When I think about flowers, I think about my aunt's house -- not Monet." His interest in architecture as foundation derived from his hometown known as "Monument City," which led to the use of "bricks" in his work.
