- Arts
Today I’m talking with Rachel Gloria Adams. We cover a lot in this episode, from Rachel’s upbringing and the role her mother played in helping her discover her calling in art, to her experience as a Black mother and artist. Her unique perspective is visualized in bold graphic prints and natural forms. She also heads TACHEE, a textile design company featuring her bright prints on small batch clothing and home goods. Together with her husband Ryan, the pair founded the Piece Together Project, a rotating collection of murals in Maine’s East Bayside neighborhood, in Portland. This project celebrate the people that built and thrived in this special neighborhood.
