[SIZE=-1]Angela Adams grew up on an island off the coast of Maine. An island upbringing helped to shape her unique perspective on design. Fashions and styles come and go on the mainland, but on the island the decades seem to linger. Angela's designs are known for their sense of timelessness, simplicity and balance - all inspired by the remote and harsh natural beauty of life off the coast of Maine.
Early in her design career, Angela worked as a decorative painter. As her business grew, she sought an alternative medium for her expanding design repertoire. Rugs were a natural choice, due to the Maine legacy of handmade textiles and floor coverings. She fell in love with the process of hand-tufting, a technique that she reinvented to fit her own aesthetic.

Hand-tufted and sheared into undulating patterns, her rugs became masterfully crafted works of art. This innovative approach and Angela's dynamic patterns helped to quickly establish her as a leader in contemporary design.
