    ASHEVILLE, North Carolina (WLOS) — An Asheville artist is selling watercolor paintings in an effort to help those in Ukraine.

“There’s so much misery in this world. I grew up in post-World War II in Germany, and I know what hunger means. And I just have to do something,” Knauf said.

Knauf invited patrons to a small event Sunday, Dec. 4, where they could look at watercolor paintings and greeting cards she had painted to help support the groups working abroad.

In February, Knauf donated some of her paintings to be auctioned by Manna FoodBank, which was also raising funds to aid Ukraine.
