Support an Artist in Residence

Bonjour! My name is Heather Berthelette and I am a professional fine artist from New England. I've been selected for one of the TOP TEN most beautiful Art Residency programs IN THE WORLD at the Chateau d'Orquevaux, France. I am extremely honoured and excited by this amazing opportunity as only 20% of applicants are accepted! My official residency begins on May 16, 2024, and it is my goal to continue to reside in and paint throughout France for up to three months.

It has been my dream to attend an artist residency in Europe and now is my chance! With your help, I have been able to make the total deposit on my art residency program and purchase airline tickets. However, I will need to raise more funds to cover:

This is where you come in.

For each donation I receive, I will give you a piece of my artwork.

A work of art, especially an original piece, holds value over time which makes it a smart investment! There are three donation tiers with varying offers based on the dollar amount (see below).

It's easy to support the arts. Simply follow these instructions:

1.) Select your desired tier and make your donation amount on this GoFundMe page (be sure to include your name on your donation so I can cross-check your order for artwork).

2.) Send me an email by pressing the "Contact" button on this page and include your full name, mailing address, donation amount, and the name of your donation tier (ALL of this information is strictly confidential).

3.) Upon email confirmation, I will prepare and send your artwork! (for commission orders, please allow a bit of time for their creation; however, ALL commissions will be completed prior to my departure to France in May 2024)

That's it! I told you it was easy. Now, check below for the list of artworks and donation amounts.
