About

This was an illustration I was hired to create for Millie's Nantucket restaurant.

The Illustration is of local hero ‘Madaket Millie’ Jewett who was an island legend who spent her life caring for the beaches, the animals and the people of Madaket. Reserved, yet strong minded, Millie embodied the self-reliant spirit of native islanders. She was loved by locals and visitors alike, always willing to help people in need. Millie patrolled the coastline and watched for shipwrecks, earning her the highest civilian rank from the US Coast Guard. She sold ice cream and greeted travelers from her yard on Hither Creek.

From the shores of New England to the sun-drenched beaches of Baja California, Millie’s menu features coastal fare and cocktails, including the island-famous Madaket Mystery.
