Artist's Statement from Ryan Adams:

I am a painter and muralist born and raised in Portland, Maine. My ‘gem’ style of work is centered around the abstraction of letterforms and often includes a statement embedded within. For this piece, we went with ‘Freedom is an act’, taken from a quote by John Lewis. I had the honor of creating a mural of this piece in the ACLU of Maine's office. It just so happened to fall during the first few weeks of January when we were waking up to an onslaught of executive orders placed by the new president. I was in an anxious and overwhelmed place when I arrived to paint. Over the course of the week, I was able to personally see the tireless, organized, and effective efforts of the ACLU of Maine team, as well as having a candid conversation with the executive director that filled me with optimism. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to work with the ACLU of Maine and for their work to make this country a better place.
