Our Story

The Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina are my home. It is the land where I drew my first breath, walked my first steps, and knew first love unconditionally. These are my people, and our hearts break together as we rise from the storm.

On September 27, 2024, Hurricane Helene tore through the Smokey Mountains with a fury like we’ve never seen before. Record rainfall, wind, and flooding left a path of destruction across so many lives and communities. Local heroes came without hesitation, neighbors banned together, and unknown friends came to lift us from the devastation. So many have lost what cannot be replaced and there is much work to be done to bring healing.

Together, we are working to rebuild where we are able. So many people in our communities are supported through art, small businesses, agriculture, and local tourism.

For now, that is gone.

As local artists and creators our mission is to help support the rebuilding of our communities through art. Proceeds from your purchases will support recovery in Hendersonville, NC and surrounding areas within our communities. Thank you for your support as we endeavor to heal and rebuild through art.

Be Inspired!
