COALESCE
I've been selected to participate in “Coalesce 2024” – an exhibition at the Eno Arts Mill Gallery in Hillsborough, NC. Ten selected poets and ten selected visual artists will be paired for collaboration. Each poet will write a new poem based on one artwork, and each artist will create a new artwork based on one poem, all of which will be displayed Jan. 5 - 29, 2024 in the main gallery. “Coalesce” is curated by writer Morrow Dowdle and visual artist Max Dowdle (who created the logo shown here).

YOU HELPED ME RAISE ALMOST $7K FOR WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! My friends and followers contributed nearly seven thousand dollars to World Central Kitchen in 2022. I offered a free pattern for this sunflower pin, and asked folks to contribute what they could to this organization, which is feeding refugees from Ukraine and those who remain in Ukraine. WCK has an excellent charity rating, and helps hungry people in crisis due to war and environmental disasters around the globe. You can still download the pattern here:  https://susanbrubakerknapp.com/tutorials
