We are honored to share The Ash Rose Project, a powerful initiative of The Ash Rose Foundation, at our upcoming gallery event Friday, August 1st 5-9pm

The Ash Rose Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming grief into beauty and connection through art. At the heart of our work is The Ash Rose Project, which creates memorial portraits using a small portion of cremation ashes from a loved one. Each piece is created in collaboration with the family accompanied by a 30 day program of journaling and grief counseling process, drawing from stories, memories, and symbolic imagery to reflect the life and legacy of the person being honored. These portraits serve as both sacred tribute and healing expression - helping individuals and families navigate grief while creating something deeply meaningful and lasting.

The August gallery exhibit will feature a curated selection of these ash-infused artworks, offering a rare and moving experience of remembrance, love, and legacy through visual storytelling. Guests will have the opportunity to engage with the art, speak with previous project participants, connect with leading industry professionals, and reflect on the ways we honor those who have passed.

Founder and artist Ian McCartor, hospice nurse and grief counselor, will be present to share more about the project and the stories behind the portraits. His unique background in end-of-life care has deeply informed the compassionate, personalized nature of this work.

We are so grateful to be part of this event and look forward to sharing in this meaningful gathering.
