Topsail Island Coastal Market Totes
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know Topsail Island isn’t just where I live—it’s where my heart lives. It’s where the sunrises crack open the sky in gold and coral. Where the sound of waves reminds me to breathe deeply. And where the coastal marshes, buzzing beaches, and salt-worn piers have inspired some of my most loved paintings.
That’s why I’m so excited to introduce my Coastal Market Totes, featuring three of my most popular Topsail-inspired paintings:
Closer — a calm turquoise sea under bright blue skies
A Ribbon at a Time — a golden sunrise washing over soft waves
Echoes — the iconic Bumblebee Tower standing at the edge of dawn
These totes are functional and artful—designed to bring the joy and beauty of the coast with you wherever you go.
Why I Created These
So many of you have told me that my work reminds you of your beach vacations, your happy place, or the peace you crave in daily life. I wanted to make something useful that still carried that feeling—something you could sling over your shoulder while running errands or heading to the market, and feel that same coastal calm. And I wanted to do it right.
These totes are:
✔️ Made in North America
✔️ Lined in navy with a zipper pocket and two other pockets perfect for your cell phone
✔️ Durable 100% cotton canvas
✔️ Oversized: 20” wide x 15” tall x 4” deep
✔️ Digitally printed with vibrant archival inks
This is not your average tote. It’s a beautiful, practical piece of art—and a great way to support small, creative businesses like mine (and not impersonal big-box companies).
Each design is available here on my site, and I’d love to hear which one is your favorite!
And if you’re local, you might just catch me with a tote in hand at the beach!
One Last Thing…
Every time you buy a tote, you’re not just carrying art—you’re carrying a piece of my story, and of this coastal place that I love so much. Thank you for supporting local art and letting me create beauty that travels the world—one shoulder at a time.
Here is the inside of the tote. It holds so much and makes a greay carry on or overnight bag.
