Erica Schaffel | Artist

Many people have reached out to ask how they can help after the 1000 year flood caused by Hurricane Helene devastated Asheville. I am SO grateful for every single one of you. It just didn’t feel right to ask anyone to just help me, when so many people here have been impacted even more than I have, so I launched this Kickstarter.

The River arts district was home to 300+ artists. I had about a dozen original paintings in Marquee, a gallery there, that were lost to the flood. But I was lucky. Many of these artists lost studios, equipment, or full collections of work, and like me, many lost their primary source of income for an unforeseen amount of time.

If you want to help, please like, share, and comment on this reel! And if you want to and are able to contribute, just comment AVL below for a link! Link to Kickstarter also in my bio ☺️💕🙏
