This week's #MainerMonday feature is Daniel Minter a multidisciplinary artist and instructor at the Maine College of Art. ⠀ ⠀ Minter has illustrated 11 children’s books, including Ellen’s Broom, which won a Coretta Scott King Illustration Honor. He’s drawn to children’s books because they allow him to insert something of his own story in the artwork. “It is important that children sometimes see characters that look like them and characters that look different from them in the books they read,” says Minter, who is represented by greenhutgalleries in the Portland area.👆🏼Tap on the link in bio👆🏼to read more about Minter.
