We want to give a heartfelt thank you to Black Mountain artist Karen Maugans, who recently donated hundreds of fine art photography prints to our Crisis Ministry! Karen creates stunning mandalas and still life photographs — none of them AI-generated. Karen’s studio in the River Arts District was completely destroyed during Helene, making her generosity even more extraordinary.

At the Crisis Ministry, we focus first on offering essential resources to our neighbors in need, like food, clothes, and utility assistance. But every once in a while, we have the opportunity to offer a few delightful extras, like these gorgeous works of art. Because, as John Muir said, “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread.”

Please help us thank Karen for her amazing gift by leaving her a kind comment below!
