HELLO EVERYONE!!
Today I would like to welcome all newcomers who signed up for our newsletter and to thank you. I would also like to thank those of you who have received our newsletter over the years. Please know how much I have appreciated your kind and generous comments.
Many wonderful things have been happening here at the gallery and studio. You might have noticed that I have not been posting any of my new works, putting them on my website, or shown any photos of the sculpture piece I have been working on.
As I mentioned in the last newsletter I am preparing for a solo exhibition, ”An Expressionist's Journey”, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on October 1, 2021, at my alma mater, The University of Alabama. My work will consist of twelve new paintings. I will also include a surprise sculpture that will be unveiled by Dean Joe Messina, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; Mr. Daniel White, director and curator of The Paul R. Jones Museum and The University of Alabama Gallery, and myself. For me, this is truly an honor and my excitement is beyond description. The exact date of the unveiling of the sculpture will be on November 5, 2021.
I hope to see you all on November 5, 2021, at The University of Alabama Gallery for the solo exhibition, “An Expressionist's Journey” and for the surprise unveiling of the life-size bronze bust of Coach Nick Saban...now you know. If you have any questions regarding new work that is available for purchase or any questions about paintings that we are going to include in our inventory reduction sale during these next three months, please contact us here din Gulf Shores, Alabama and ask for me or Michelle Jordan, my gallery assistant.
We look forward to hearing from you or seeing you on your next visit to the gallery. Stay well, stay safe, enjoy your families and have a pleasant new fall beginning!
With much love,
Susan
