In 2019, the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts commissioned Adam Pearson to install 3 large metal sculptures along Columbus Ave./Rt. 125. The sculptures are anchored along a paved walking trail that leads to the Rochester Common.
Adam Pearson is a sculptor and craftsman from Barrington NH. In 2003, he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of New Hampshire. He currently works in the Art Department at the University of New Hampshire. His work focuses on sculpture, ceramics, welding, and casting.
