How Two Artists Are Painting Portland’s Future

Portland’s creative scene has always been characterized by resilience and grit: a scrappiness and openness to push boundaries, whether it comes to visual art, food, or design. This artist couple is no exception and their unique works prove that there is so much more to Maine than ocean scenes and lighthouses.

Rachel’s artistic style draws upon the whimsical and nostalgic charm of Portland’s West End, and she employs the use of quilting in her design-centric works. Ryan’s use of letterform abstraction and graffiti-like flourishes are emblematic of the industrial, active, and diverse East End.

Together, their styles combine to create beautiful and joyous murals that have transformed public spaces and engaged the community, fostering diversity, and drawing visitors to the city.
