This Is the Last Time You’ll See Me

In 2024, that is.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and spent time with the people who matter most.

This is the final Friday email of the year, and I couldn’t let 2024 end without looking back at some of my favorite paintings from the past 12 months.

Each one tells a story—if you’ve been here, you know the moments they hold.

For next year, I’ve been thinking a lot about personal growth.

I’m setting a goal to get over my fear of flying and (deep breath) public speaking. 🙏🏽

But more than that, I want to make 2025 the year I connect with more of you in person.

So much of what I do happens behind a canvas or a screen, but getting to hear your stories, talk face-to-face, and connect through this journey we’re all on? That’s something I want to lean into more.

Whether that’s through shows, events, or just finding ways to be more present, I’m excited for what’s ahead.

Oh, and one more thing I’ve been thinking about:

Would you watch a 10-minute (or longer) video of me creating art?

Let me know—I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you for being part of this year.

It’s been unforgettable because of you.

I’ll see you next Friday in 2025!

With gratitude,
Sam
