In Myrtle Beach South Carolina gearing up for @drewbrophy big Retrospective exhibit that opens this Saturday! The street leading to the museum is lined with these flags. It's such an honor and one that both Drew and I have dreamed of for years. ✨✨✨ A DREAM COME TRUE! Nearly 15 years ago, Drew's parents came to visit and we took them to a museum in San Diego for the Maxfield Parrish Retrospective Exhibit. As we followed Parrish's art career from start to finish, I felt an incredible feeling inside. 💫💫💫 What I saw was an artist who began his career as a teenager, with limited skill. His early works were crude and unpolished. But you could see a spark of talent there. Then, as you walked room to room, you saw his art blossom as the years went on. 🎨🎨🎨 It was incredibly inspiring, to see that an artist could grow from crude pencil drawings as a young person to one of the most influential artists of his time. 🎨🎨🎨 I remember the moment we saw the masterpieces at the end of Parrish's career, and I turned and looked at Drew's mom and said "one day Drew will have an exhibit in a museum like this." 💫💫💫 And the day is here! I'm trying to soak it all in, like a wedding day that goes to fast if you don't stay mindful of the moment. 😀😀😀 IF YOU'RE ANYWHERE NEAR MYRTLE BEACH, SOUTH CAROLINA come see us! The grand opening celebration (free) is at the museum this Saturday June 23rd. We are also leading exhibit tours for the following 2 weeks. #drewbrophyretrospective #drewbrophy @mbartmuseum #surfart #myrtlebeach (at Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum)
