PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) Tile maker Karen Singer has been creating masterpieces in her Germantown studio for more than 20 years. People like to think of what I do as the icing on the cake, said Singer. You know the crowning glory. The cherry on top of the sundae, Singer said.
Singer s art is displayed in places of worship, hospitals, retirement homes, and nonprofits. But the pandemic has taken a toll on fundraising efforts, and business for her has drastically slowed down. It s very difficult. Particularly at this time when people are letting employees go, she said. Without help, it s hard to keep it going. The electric company isn t going to say to me: OK, that s fine, you can just wait.
