$150 Gift Voucher  Secret Code

I recently added an online store to sell selected artworks from my studio. If you’re on my mailing list, I value your being part of my art family, and in appreciation I want to give you a $150 voucher good towards an original painting in my web store or studio. I’ll be adding more paintings soon as I go through the studies in my studio,  I’ll notify you when new works are added.

If you are on my email list, you recently received a secret code word to claim your voucher. If you didn’t get it, please send me an email.

It’s good for at least a year, and if you can’t use it, you may give it to a friend, I’m cleaning out and moving my studio soon, so now might be a good time to use it. If you have any difficulty using the cart or coupon please email or call me. I value your feed back too.

No you can’t redeem it for cash.
