Happy New Year....Sorry this is late...but here ya go.....

Date: Saturday, January 2, 2010


Time: 9:00am - 6:00pm

Location: Wet Paint Syndrome, LLC

Street: 1040 Fernwood-Glendale Rd, Suite 34

Spartanburg, SC 29307

Patrice and I were recounting tonight about the amazing opportunities that have blessed us in 2009. Among many other wonderful moments, my development as an artist has definitely hit a new high watermark. Not only did I earn my MFA from Goddard, present a large scale exhibition at Wofford, and paint at Ghost Ranch during a residency, but we came very close to breaking even on the new studio venture. Without you, our friends and family, this would never have been possible.

To celebrate the incredible support and encouragement we have received from friends and family in this past year, we would like to offer a very special one day sale at Wet Paint. From 9am-6pm on Saturday, January 2nd, 2010, I will open the studio at Hillcrest to the public.

ALL of my original paintings will be offered on a buy one, get one (of equal or lesser value) FREE (while supplies last) for one day only. This sale does not apply to posters or cards.

Many of you know this kind of markdown is very unusual in the world of fine art sales. It is not recommended or advised. It is not a smart move for many reasons. In fact, this will probably be one of the only times I can ever offer my work in this fashion.

However, as you know, my whole philosophical approach toward sharing my art is to make it affordable so it can be shared by many.

This sale is intended to be a true celebration of all of your support and a genuine thank you for your encouragement! I do not plan to advertise the sale widely because it is intended to thank those who have been so supportive of my art along the way. Please feel free to pass this on to others. Buy a piece for yourself, and give one to a friend who has supported you in 2009! Or invite a friend to chip in for the cost of the first piece so you can give them the second!

We only accept cash or check, so come prepared as you need to be.

Thank you for all your continuing support for my art. If you cannot make it Saturday, please know how much your support and encouragement means to both of us!



Happy New Year!
