Help Me Realize My Dream of Exhibiting in Rome
In my final years at the University of the Arts London, where I was studying for a BA (Hons) in Graphic and Media Design, my life took an unexpected turn.
My mother was diagnosed with cancer. While her treatment was initially successful, it left her with long-term side effects that required ongoing care.
Faced with this responsibility, I made the difficult decision to change my career path to ensure financial stability and help care for her, putting my artistic dreams on hold.
For nine years, I worked a full-time job to support my family, never taking a holiday, and battling depression as I watched my creative aspirations slip away.
Despite the challenges, my love for art never fully disappeared.
Now, after more than a decade, I’ve finally started painting again. In the moments between my job , I’ve slowly rebuilt my portfolio, reconnecting with the passion I had to set aside. Recently, I received incredible news—I’ve been selected to exhibit my artwork at the Rome Art Expo 2024 Autumn Edition. This is an unbelievable opportunity to display my work on an international stage in one of the world’s most historic art capitals.
However, the financial costs are overwhelming. Between exhibition fees, framing, shipping, and travel expenses, I simply cannot afford this opportunity on my own. Without support, I won’t be able to participate in this dream exhibition.
This is where I need your help! By contributing to my fundraiser, you can help me finally achieve the dream I’ve held onto for so long.
Every donation, no matter the size, will bring me one step closer to showcasing my work in Rome and reclaiming the artistic career I’ve longed for.
Thank you for your support in helping me make this dream a reality!
