In the aftermath of the devastating floods caused by Hurricane Helene, Western North Carolina, including Asheville, was severely impacted. The floodwaters destroyed homes, businesses, and lives, leaving our community in a state of recovery. I personally lost two key places where I sold my artwork—Marquee at Asheville and Vintage Almont. Many other art markets and local businesses have been forced to close, making it incredibly difficult to continue my sales. Additionally, I lost my teaching positions at the school and university, which has greatly affected my livelihood.
 
Your purchase not only helps me rebuild my career, but it also directly supports my family. The situation has put an extra strain on me, especially as I try to support my son in Mexico. Your kindness and support during this difficult time mean more than words can express.
 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
