Hospital with Heart
Karen always enjoys working with local communities and hospitals to create art pieces that will encourage and inspire on a larger scale. Recently, she connected with Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. They wanted to create a sculpture celebrating babies, children and families to highlight a plaque area recognizing contributors to their Better Beginnings Fund, which benefits those served by the Unit.
A Playground with Pizzazz
For several years, Karen has been in touch with the creators of Boundless Playgrounds, barrier-free playgrounds where children, with and without disabilities, can play and learn. They had approached Karen about helping with a playground design for South Windsor. The playground, called "My Friend's Place" was completed this past month. A gate, built by Karen's friend Tim the Welder and incorporating Karen's plasma-cut design, provides the entrance to the colorful and exciting new playground.
Ordering suspended until further notice.
The rising cost of living and impact of inflation has taken a toll on operations. Considering the cost of materials, time spent creating made-to-order products, and attention to detail required for many personalized items, our current prices and fulfillment practices cannot remain the same. As such, I've been forced to reassess product costs and devise a sustainable, realistic solution to ensure I can continue to create well into the future.
If you have questions/reasonable requests where time is not of the essence, please reach out.
Sincerely, Karen
