Collectors scoop up a floral by Elizabeth Floyd at Principle Gallery
“Elizabeth Floyd sent us Magnolias & Reflections as a part of her Grandiflora solo exhibition in September of last year,” shares Carson Reeder, assistant director of Principle Gallery’s Charleston, South Carolina, location. A repeat collector immediately reached out after getting a preview of the show and purchased the piece. “This piece perfectly embodies Floyd’s intention of the show as a whole, evoking the memory and warmth that a single bloom can bring to a viewer,” adds Reeder.+++
Britt Snyder sells beach scene out of Three Stones Gallery in Concord, Massachusetts
“The painting Changes is a masterpiece in conveying where the familiar specifics of two girls playing in the ocean meet a universality of the viewers experience,” says Three Stones Gallery owner Jennifer Johnston. “This summer scene is at once reminiscent of a recent misty overcast day at the beach as well as a dream or memory or such. Britt’s refined technique allows for the possibility of both past and present to radiate an inherent beauty and mystery.”Artist Britt Snyder adds, “Those kind words from Jennifer sum it up well for me as well. I wanted to capture the moment and feeling of summer, family and escape you get in those summer days here in Massachusetts near the beach…I had the view pulled out to focus on the whole scene, and I like to paint in a way that allows for interpretation in the work.”

James Gucwa sells another nostalgic depiction of roadside America
James “Kingneon” Gucwa is best known for his realistic paintings of the American roadside, specifically vintage neon signs. Soon after delivering his 2025 painting Starlite Motel to Xanadu Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona, a collector was drawn to it for its “bold sense of nostalgia—the glowing neon, the twilight mood, and the feeling that there’s a story unfolding just beyond the frame,” shares Gucwa. The piece now hangs in their South Carolina residence. “They gravitate toward artwork that blends atmosphere, memory and a touch of Americana, and this painting resonated with them immediately,” adds the artist.+++
Ryan Graff Contemporary sells piece by Adam Hunter Caldwell to arts advocate and writer Chris McCreary
San Francisco art scene advocate and writer Chris McCreary picked up a painting from Adam Hunter Caldwell’s show Coverage at Ryan Graff Contemporary. “This exhibition arose from Caldwell’s acute concern about the cultural and political trajectory of the United States,” explains gallery owner Ryan Graff. “Each picture in the exhibition began with a single word removed from U.S. federal websites: Belong. Disabilities. Ethnicity. Hate Speech. Minority. McCreary, a disabled individual, purchased Disabilites Verso. He says, “I reflected on the healthcare denied me by insurance companies, I thought of the endless delays I’ve experienced in receiving care, and I recognized that I felt less empowered by America’s treatment of the disabled than I felt as if I had been dragged along at a pace defined by others’ money and indifference: puppet indeed.” —Interested in having your SOLD! story featured in the pages of American Art Collector magazine?
