Mark Ray Studio Gallery Closing

MARK RAY STUDIO GALLERY CLOSING
I wanted to provide a brief clarification for all my friends and customers about my gallery closing. I have received alot of messages in reference to my previous post.
I have decided to close the gallery the first of the new year in order to cut some costs due to this wonderful economy we are all experiencing. I am in no way not continuing to paint marine wildlife ...art. In fact I recently set up a studio at my home where I will continue to paint in hopes of doing a little more traveling to tournaments and shows to display and sell my works.
I plan to reopen a gallery in another location hopefully in the near future.
I appreciate everyones support and kind comments. You all are a big part of my motivation to paint these slimy wet creatures that inhabit the waters that I love so much.
With that said I will continue to post my, what I'm u too's and new artwork.
I'M HAVING A "I HATE MOVING ART SALE" which includes discounts on all my in stock prints and ORIGINALS and 50% off commissioned artwork now through the end of the year. Please contact me if you all have any questions 252-646-1221. My available originals can be viewed on my website. www.MarkRayStudio.com

Good luck with the move/sale!!!

Sorry to hear that, but it's probably a smart business move. Overhead is a killer, ask me how I know.

Good luck with the restructuring. I hope it works out for you.

Good luck Mark. I never got the chance to stop by your store as Morehead is a pretty good ways away.

The biggest lesson in being self employed is learning how to "bob and weave". Fight the fight on your term's and you'll make out. Listen to your heart and follow it. After all, that's what pay's the bill's. Good Luck, Frank

Good luck to you Mark. You know I own many "custom" pieces of your work and will be back with some more crazy ideas for you. I still never wore that helmet you painted for me. Don't know what I would do if I ever dropped it forget about wreckin one of the bike while wearing it!
