🎨 Win Trinity
by Anthony Carey

Hello friends,

It has been a while since I last wrote, and I wanted to reach out with a heartfelt update. Some of you know that I made a promise to my Dad years ago: that someday, I would go back to college and pursue my passion for the arts. I am delighted to share that I am well on my way. Over the past year, my days have been filled with essays, studies, and creative exploration as I work towards my BA in Creative Arts. It has been an intense but wonderful time of growth, reflection, and learning.

Life, as always, brings its challenges too. Throughout this time, my mother’s health has required a lot of care and attention. Balancing academic work, studio time, and family responsibilities has been a journey in itself. There have been moments of exhaustion, but also immense gratitude—for the chance to do what I love, and for the support I have received along the way.

Last August, I was honored to exhibit in the Scariff Library Gallery as part of the Mountshannon Arts Festival. I only spent a few days in Mountshannon, but those few days left a lasting impression. The warmth, kindness, and generosity I experienced from the community touched my heart deeply. I promised myself then that I would find a way to give something back.

Today, I am thrilled to share how.

Win 'Trinity' - Raffle for Mountshannon Arts Festival

• I am donating my original painting Trinity to support the Mountshannon Arts Festival. Trinity is a textured abstract piece, created with acrylic and plaster, exploring themes of unity, sacred triads, and presence. Framed in a sleek black wooden float frame and measuring 70 x 50 cm, it is a work close to my heart.

• There is also a wonderful second prize: a luxury break for two on the shores of beautiful Lough Derg — a perfect way to celebrate art, nature, and community, generously donated by Mel from Lakeshore Experiences.

If you feel drawn to support this beautiful cause, I would be so grateful. And who knows — you might soon have Trinity hanging in your home.

Thank you for being here, for reading, for your ongoing encouragement. Every connection, every message, every quiet moment of support means the world to me.

Wishing you creativity, peace, and light.

Warmest regards,

Anthony
