Pink Dog Creative Gallery presents Tea in the Tempest, a powerful collaborative exhibition by mixed media artist Heather Divoky and textile artist Emelie Weber Wade. What began as a celebration of creative friendship evolved into a reflection on destruction, resilience, and renewal in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
What to Expect:
✨ Hand-drawn works & illustrated paper crowns by Heather Divoky
🧵 Handwoven inlay wall art & non-traditional quilts by Emelie Weber Wade
🤝 Collaborative installations exploring loss, change, and rebuilding, including paper weaving, a life-size tree, and an interactive quilt
