A Pilgrimage of Artistic Exploration & Renewal


Dear Friends & Family,

I wanted to share some exciting news with you guys—I'm embarking on a pilgrimage this fall that holds deep significance for me as an artist & individual.

After dedicating the past two years to my studies, my artistic side has taken a backseat. That's why I've decided to embark on a transformative Pilgrimage with the Arts Collective through Ireland, Scotland, Wales & England—cities brimming with rich artistic & spiritual history. By immersing myself in these places, I hope to reconnect with my creativity, passion, & purpose.

This trip is not just a physical adventure, but also a soulful exploration. Stepping into unfamiliar territories, I believe, will provide much-needed refreshment for my heart, soul, & mind. It's an opportunity for me to immerse myself in the art & culture that has shaped the lives of countless artists throughout history.

I am sharing this with you today with a humble request for financial support. The costs associated with this journey, including airfare, accommodations, & transportation, can be quite overwhelming. Your contribution would not only ease the financial burden but also play a significant role in making this pilgrimage possible.

I want to assure you that your support means the world to me, & I am truly grateful for any amount you can contribute. No donation is too small, as every bit will make a difference.

The trip is scheduled from August 23rd to September 6th. If you have any questions or would like more details, please feel free to reach out to me personally.

Thank you from the depths of my heart.
