I Spy Maine Needs

Artist Statement
In my work I illustrate objects that hold a sentimental and aesthetic value to an individual. With the pandemic leaving more and more people struggling I felt it was important to highlight the objects that people in our community need to get by.
I turned to the local grass-roots organization Maine Needs who help distribute material needs to those facing adversity all across Maine. The items I illustrated are all things that they accept as donations but what they need changes day to day. For more information on how to donate visit www.maineneeds.org.
