A Personal Invitation to Healing
"Grief is not just something to be endured—it can be transformed into something beautiful, meaningful, and deeply personal. The Ash Rose Project is an opportunity to honor your loved one, engage in a reflective journey, and emerge with a one-of-a-kind artwork infused with their presence."
- Ian McCartor, President & Executive Director
