🎣🖼️ From the dock to the canvas…

Local artist (and shop owner!) Crystal Foy, of Boro Girl Boutique (📍116 N. Front Street) has transformed a beloved Swansboro scene into a stunning piece of art — featuring the shrimp boat from Captain Clyde Phillips Seafood Market, a true coastal North Carolina icon. 🛥️

Originally captured by 📸 Rhonda Hunter Photography, this image has been lovingly reimagined and brought to life on oversized fabric canvas. It’s bold, it’s beautiful, and it’s pure Swansboro charm!

📍Stop in to see the finished piece — and while you're at it, swing by Clyde Phillips Seafood Market (104 E. Corbett Ave.) to meet the real legend. ✍🏼 READ THE STORY in Our State Magazine: https://www.ourstate.com/a-fish-house-tradition-in-swansboro/ (Photo: Baxter Miller)
