WNC Relief Fundraiser
Asheville and the towns around it have always been a haven for artists and craftsmanship. Their work decorates my walls and shelves, hangs in my closet, settles in my skin, and reminds me that I have roots. Many of these artists lost their studio, supplies, livelihood, and more.
In an effort to help, I will donate 100% of the profit from the sale of these prints to the Craft Futures Fund, which is helping WNC artists rebuild and survive.

Sorry that the fundraiser is on Etsy, it’s the best I could do with a short turnaround lol
Details from Asheville’s River Arts District— a hub for art galleries, studios of all mediums, secondhand, vintage, and handmade goods. These images were taken 2 months after Helene hit. Pottery, glassblowing, paint studios, and everything else was destroyed under 25 feet of rushing water and then several feet of toxic mud after the waters receded.
