WCG member Carol DuBosch, a master Calligrapher in Portland OR, has been creating art every day in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. Her passionate efforts have resulted in an eBook that she has gifted to the Oregon Food Bank to help encourage donations during this health crisis.

​As a thank you to anyone who donates on Oregon Food Bank’s website, you will have access to a downloadable version of Carol's eBook – The Calligraphic Coronavirus Chronicles (one day's artwork at right).
