Jersey Proud! Fundraiser Collection

Jersey Proud – We Are the Garden State

 

If you’re from lush and green  Jersey, you know “The Garden State” isn’t just a nickname—it’s home.

 

This colorful tactile print  is a Fundraiser for the New Jersey Council  of the blind .

 

Let’s celebrate them and New Jersey all at the same time !

 

This print celebrates the things that make Jersey unmistakably, well,  Jersey.

 

From our  tomatoes, sweet corn, peaches, apples, and blueberries- to the Shore ( I mean, what is summer without the shore ?)  this design brings together pieces of the state we know and love.

 

A large  bright green outline of New Jersey anchors the artwork, with the word  “Jersey”  in  bright green letters and  green braille proudly runs through the center of the state.

 

It’s a little bit farm stand, a little bit Jersey Shore, and a whole lot of Jersey pride. (Hey Pine barrens! We know you’re there!)

 

Off to the right of the state outline  are other great marks of Pride.

We have a little image of the Garden  State Parkway at the top right hand side of the print .

(although we know if we had  the space we could run it completely from the top  the bottom of the state and list  every single exit! ).

 

Running down  along the shore we have a red and white Lighthouse as a nod of all of our light houses  that run down by  the shore towns.

 

At the bottom of the print on the right,  in the general direction of  Wildwood  is  a Ferris wheel  as a nod -to all those wonderful boardwalks running down the shore.

 

The top of the print  proudly states “We are the Garden State”  in Green Ink with green tactile grade one braille beneath it.

The remainder of the print  is framed on three sides by three different white canes!

 

It’s a little bit farm stand, a little bit Jersey Shore, and a whole lot of Jersey pride.

 

Whether you grew up here, live here, or simply know there’s no place quite like Jersey, this print is a fun celebration of the state we all call home.
