Farnsworth Mural Project: Rachel Gloria Adams and Ryan Adams


  • Farnsworth Art Museum 16 Museum Street Rockland, ME, 04841 United States (map)

Portland-based artists Rachel Gloria Adams and Ryan Adams created the site-specific mural, You Showed Me Love, on the Farnsworth Art Museum’s campus. This collaborative project merges the artists’ signature styles of vibrant graphic patterns of natural worlds and gem-like lettering. You Showed Me Love draws from lyrics in a Frank Ocean song that was playing in the background of the artists’ first date. For them, this affectionate phrase conveys both personal and communal meanings. On the occasion of the Farnsworth’s 75th anniversary, You Showed Me Love presents a message of gratitude, hope, and positivity.

The Mural Project is supported by an anonymous donor, Hampton by Hilton of Rockland, the Lunder Foundation, and our Annual Exhibition Sponsors.
