CONVERSATION WITH THE ARTIST
Into the Night...
As we began to make our highly anticipated call to Burton Morris, the phone rings. On the other line is the artist himself, a Post-Pop sensation whose creative ability has captivated American pop culture to the tee. Throughout all of his success, Morris does not allow the fame to affect his down-to-earth personality. Instead, he constantly tells us “No, no. Thank you!” But no Burton, thank you!

REFLECTIONS
Welcome from Artist & co-Owner, JD Miller
Welcome to the launch of the inaugural issue of Samuel Lynne Galleries newsletter, “picture • this”. Myself, Gallery Directors, Janice Meyers and Courtney Feavel, along with Gallery Associates, Jenna McClelland and Marisa Seaman, have worked hard and want to share a ‘snapshot' of the gallery's past, present and future.
As we kick-off the gallery's third year in business, we are looking forward to hosting the return of Post-Pop Artist, Burton Morris on September 11. His new Night Table series displayed as part of the “Into the Night” exhibition are bold, exciting and a definite must-see!
October brings a change in landscape as I premiere my “California Dreamin' ” exhibition inspired by my travels to the coastline of Carmel/ Big Sur this past year. It is a journey that I invite everyone to take.
For the Holiday season, and as a limited engagement, Samuel Lynne Galleries will display our fine art within the Highland Park Village starting in late November!
Finally, we thank you all for the continued support and for making our first two years so successful.
Looking forward to seeing you all,
JD Miller

A successful restaurateur of the popular Macaroni Grill and other known dining brands, Philip Romano knew the key to launching a successful career in art, like any business, is establishing a powerful image to set him apart from the rest. When he partnered with fellow Dallas-based artist JD Miller to open Samuel Lynne Galleries, that powerful point of difference, which earned the owners ABN's Showroom Design Excellence honor, was a phenomenal 11,000-square-foot studio that made the ultimate design statement on Dallas' gallery-filled Dragon Street.
