<div>Hi friends, fellow artists, and lovers of wild places,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year, I’m embarking on a <strong>99-day painting expedition from California to the Arctic Ocean and back</strong>—an adventure shaped by light, silence, and discovery. I’ll be traveling in an RV through some of the most remote and inspiring landscapes in North America: <strong>Denali</strong>, <strong>Banff, Jasper, Glacier, Zion</strong>, and the breathtaking provincial parks of <strong>British Columbia, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But this journey isn’t just about where I’m going—
</div>
<div>It’s about what I’m making along the way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a <strong>creative expedition</strong>—and I want you to be part of it from the very beginning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I’m Launching This GoFundMe</strong>
</div>
<div>To help bring this vision to life, I’m offering something meaningful in return:
</div>
<div>✨ Early access to all artwork created during the trip.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Think of this as the opening of a <strong>virtual exhibit</strong>, unfolding in real time from the road and continuing after I return—through studio previews, behind-the-scenes updates, and one-of-a-kind field sketches.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Everyone who contributes to this campaign will:</strong>
</div>
<div><em>Receive priority access</em> to purchase the finished work—before it's released to the public
</div>
<div>Get exclusive updates throughout the journey: video clips, sketches, photos, stories from the road
</div>
<div>Be part of the <strong>creative process</strong> as it happens, from trail to sketchbook to studio.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>From the Field to Your Mailbox</strong>
</div>
<div>One of my favorite recent sketches (see above) was from Tom Thomson’s cairn at Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park: a place I return to again and again (in my mind) for the sound of the loons, the night skies and the silence from the everyday world. As I worked, I thought about how meaningful it would be to share sketches like this from the road itself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>So here’s a special offering:</strong>
</div>
<div>✉️ Select supporters will receive an original grayscale sketch on a postcard, <strong>drawn from the landscapes I visit during the trip—laminated</strong> and <strong>mailed directly to you</strong>. Will yours come from the <strong>Arctic</strong> <strong>Circle? The Yukon wilderness? A remote lake in Denali?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Support Now?</strong>
</div>
<div>Because this is more than a fundraiser—it’s an invitation to walk beside me on this creative journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your support covers:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Art supplies + travel tools
</div>
<div>Time and space to fully engage with each landscape
</div>
<div>The ability to create and share deeply, rather than just document and move on
</div>
<div>Whether you contribute $10 or $500, you’re part of this journey—and I’m so grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s go somewhere <strong>wild, quiet, and beautiful</strong>.
</div>
<div>Let’s make something meaningful out there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>✨With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Christine Apostolina Beirne

<div>P.S. My “Epic Arctic Adventure” Starts June 23!
