Erica Schaffel, a watercolor artist from Asheville, NC., pushed forward with a wonderful idea in the wake of Hurricane Helene: A Kickstarter to fund the Asheville Artists Flood Collection, which is a card deck and coffee table book featuring 54 original pieces of art lost to the flood. It is quite an imaginative way of memorializing, honoring, and sharing these artist’s works with the world, while putting money directly into the hands of artists who truly need it, as quickly as possible. Minus operating costs, ALL proceeds will be split evenly between 54 participating artists.
I feel blessed and grateful to have had a piece of my work accepted by the curators of this project.
You can assist by hopping onto Kickstarter, https://www.kickstarter.com/.../the-asheville-artists... , and becoming a part of the financial support of the project and the artists included. The project also includes plans for the card decks and books to be in stores and galleries across our region.
This Kickstarter will end on November 3rd so please hurry and become a part of this project now!

My sincere thanks to you-
Stephen
