Our interactions with the natural elements have been intensified by climate change and complicated by politics. The tools at our disposal, mitigation, response, relief, and advocacy seem inadequate to the task. Yet, inaction is not an option-we have to do something.

Fifty percent of the proceeds will be donated to CERF+ by the artist. Since 1985, CERF+ has assisted hundreds of professional artists working in craft disciplines with emergency financial assistance, as well as resources and educational programs for any studio-based artist designed to strengthen and sustain their careers. CERF+ has endeavored to assure the well-being and success of individual artists, but also, through research and advocacy, to advance the needs and status of the craft field. CERF+ is a respected leader in the arts sector, advocating for improving the overall safety net for artists before, during, and after disasters. https://cerfplus.org/
