Christine Beirne: Step Into the Arctic - A Virtual Art Exhibit With First Dibs for Supporters

Sample of work that will be created: Left - Plein air piece from Carrizo National Monument; Upper right, grayscale sketch of location of Tom Thomson's cairn (a Canadian artist) and the back of the RV with one of my paintings and other info!

This year, I'm embarking on a 99-day artistic expedition to the Arctic—a journey of light, silence, and discovery. But this isn't just a personal adventure. It's a creative expedition that I want you to be part of from the very beginning.

I'm launching a GoFundMe campaign to help bring this vision to life—and in return, I'm offering something meaningful: early access to all artwork created during the expedition.

Think of this campaign not just as a fundraiser, but as the opening of a virtual art exhibit. Supporters will receive an exclusive first look at the full body of work—drawings, paintings, and mixed media pieces—all inspired by the raw, untouched beauty of the Arctic landscape.

Why support now?

Because you won’t just be watching the journey—you’ll be inside it. Everyone who contributes will be given priority access to purchase work before it is released to the general public. That means first choice of the pieces that speak most to you.

This virtual exhibit will unfold in real time and post-expedition through behind-the-scenes content, studio previews, and special updates for supporters only. Your contribution directly supports the creation of the work—and brings you closer to the creative process itself.

The Arctic is calling—and I’d love for you to come along.
