Reflecting on the Gratitude for Your Support

As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey that 2023 has been, marked by the overwhelming support and generosity from each one of you. I am writing this blog with a heart full of gratitude and a sense of humility that words can hardly encapsulate. The success of my 2024 Newfoundland Landscape Calendar and 2024 Ontario Wildlife Calendar has been more than just a professional accomplishment; it has been a shared triumph made possible by your unwavering encouragement.

The journey of creating these calendars has been an exciting one, filled with the beauty of Newfoundland's landscapes and the captivating allure of Ontario's wildlife. What started as a personal passion project has blossomed into something much more profound, thanks to the support of a community that believes in the power of art to inspire and uplift.

One aspect of this year's endeavor that holds a special place in my heart is the decision to give back. I am thrilled to announce that for every calendar sold, $1 will be donated to three incredible organizations: the Sexual Assault Survivors Centre - Sarnia Lambton, St. Clair Child & Youth, and the Twillingate-NWI Dinner Theatre and their Christmas Hampers Program.

Supporting these organizations aligns with my belief in the importance of giving back to the community. The Sexual Assault Survivors Centre - Sarnia Lambton plays a crucial role in providing support and resources to survivors, fostering healing and empowerment. St. Clair Child & Youth works tirelessly to create a brighter future for children and youth, ensuring they have the support they need to thrive. The Twillingate-NWI Dinner Theatre and their Christmas Hampers Program bring joy and assistance to those in need during the festive season, embodying the spirit of community and kindness.

Your support will allow us to make meaningful contributions to these organizations, and I am humbled by the impact we will have collectively achieved. Knowing that our calendars not only adorn your walls with stunning visuals but also contribute to the well-being of others, is a source of immense joy.

As we approach the holiday season, it is a time to celebrate not only the beauty captured in the pages of these calendars but also the warmth and generosity of our community. Together, we will have made a positive difference in the lives of those who need it most, and for that, I am profoundly grateful.

This journey has reinforced the belief that art, community, and philanthropy can come together to create something truly extraordinary. Thank you for being a part of this journey, for your support, and for making a difference alongside me. Here's to the beauty of landscapes, the wonders of wildlife, and the boundless kindness that unites us all.
