Project 20 20 logo final.jpg

Project 20/20 was an artistic journey Matt took along the Maine Island Trail, a recreational water trail connecting over 250 wild islands and coastal sites along Maine’s coast. The Trail is maintained by the Maine Island Trail Association (MITA).

Throughout the spring, summer and fall of 2020, Matt visited 20 sites on the Trail and created an original 20”x 20” painting during each visit. Sales of the paintings benefit MITA.
