Galveston is an island city filled with coastal character, remarkable architecture, and stories that stretch across generations. The Seawall, The Strand, Bishop’s Palace, the Grand Galvez, and the working port make it a proud home and one of Texas’s most memorable places to visit.
The collaboration
When our family drove from Illinois to South Texas to visit family, Galveston became a favorite place to stop and rest. We loved walking the beach together and looking for shells along the shore.
During one trip, I decided to make a Galveston Mug and took reference photos throughout the city. After returning to South Texas, I assembled the design and reached out to the recently opened Seawall Coffee. Megan, Paula, and I connected immediately, beginning a partnership that has been so much fun.
I loved learning the history behind the Grand Galvez, and I enjoyed drawing Pleasure Pier, the Port of Galveston, and the cruise ships. The mug has been received so well that the artwork is now also available on a skinny tumbler.
