Artist Statement:

Several years ago my sister, Mary told me about GSAFE and the auction. She donates multiple items each year and I began donating as well.

The first tote I ever made was one almost identical to this one. I wanted something quite sturdy that would stand up on its own in the checkout while I was loading groceries and designed the size to be nearly identical to brown paper grocery bags. For the last 3+ years, I've been carrying that original tote nearly every day. I use it mostly for grocery shopping but also when I travel or road trip. I've washed mine at least 4 times and it continues to hold up really well.
