| ANNE PACKARD |
January 25th 2008 |
Our Anne Packard Show was one of the most successful and enlightening events in our 10 years as an art dealer. We all learned (collectors and dealers) that the universal appeal of an artist is based on something deeper than merely color, contrast, and composition. Packard's work stimulated clients such that we sold nearly all that she created for this One Person Appearance. "Thank you Anne for your visit, friendship, and continued support for our galleries here in St. Augustine, and on behalf of your fans that came from across the country to see and purchase your wonderful originals please continue to tell your story through your brushes. We'll be waiting eagerly for another opportunity to see you again." |

| MICHAEL FLOHR |
February 8th 2008 |
"Michael Flohr rocked the house again", said Len Cutter (President) regarding the Personal Appearance on February 8 and 9 for a One-Man Exhibition of his recent work. Every original was sold at the event and a new creation to be done live was sold sight unseen. A large group of eager buyers enjoyed a fabulous four-course wine pairing dinner and Flohr's limited editions were very well received by his adoring collectors. Flohr is considered one of the nation's best young painters and the success of our show gives total credence to that well deserved accolade. |

| RAMON VILANOVA |
February 29th 2008 |
An almost spiritual bond was created between the fabulous Spanish painter, Ramon Vilanova and our gallery staff and owners. "The personality and story of Ramon's commitment to the arts and his search of the perfect plein-air painting site was most gratifying to art collectors who enjoyed this catered event. The four-course wine pairing dinner was hosted by well known chef Scott King, and the evening was an enormous success", said Len Cutter, president. "Everyone who saw this amazing body of work was captivated by its colorful elegance. Furthermore, understanding the discipline and near-suffering to achieve perfection that Vilanova endures was very instructive for all of us who met him", said Cutter. The public may rest assured that we as a dealer know quality when we see it and we will continue to acquire his originals for resale to clients. |

| PINO |
March 28th 2008 |
A One-Man Event of National Importance
Perfectly timed for the explosion of color that occurs in Florida, this springtime One-Man Exhibition of the art of Italian Master Pino will be nothing short of artistically life changing. Each time Pino comes to St. Augustine he tries to outdo himself and the originals we've seen thus far(see website), are proof of the value he places upon the show he calls, "the best of the best". A large number of originals in various sizes will be offered and if history repeats itself, every one will sell during or shortly after Pino's visit.
Friday, March 28th and Saturday, March 29th
