He has completed extensive studies in printmaking, including at the San Francisco Art Institute and with Tamarind Master Printer Cappy Kuhn. Since Garrett launched King Snake Press in 1998, the medium has spread like a happy virus through Upstate South Carolina and beyond.

DON ZURLO: From Santa Fe to Orlando, June 15-20 Most of the paintings in this exhibit are of images abstracted from a series of digital photographs taken at Santa Fe, New Mexico and Epcot in Orlando, Florida. The theme of each painting begins with the sense of place from the photo, and then evolves into a composition of abstract forms in a dream-like landscape. Colors and shapes are adjusted to create a scene that relates to the physical world, but at the same time, appears to exist in some mystical place in another dimension. The show opens June 15th and closes June 20th. Hours are from 1 pm to 6 pm, and by appointment. There will be a reception Thursday, June 15th from 6 to 9 pm. All sales are through City Art. For additional information, call Don Zurlo, Vista Studios #11, 803-960-2087, or Wendy Wells, City Art at 803-252-3613.
