Earlier this year, Maria created a whole new line of art, illustrated and signed tote bags, each carrying one of her artistic themes – animals, goddesses, voice, empowerment, feminism. She made these for the Open House next weekend but is also selling them on her website, they are $48 apiece plus shipping.

I love the spirit of them, they are each different and idiosyncratic.

The tote bags are made in India, are eco-and worker friendly.
