Phone: 858.245.0485

 We've closed out Del Mar and La Jolla locations, and are now
in search of a new location for our 'off site' gallery'!  ;/)

Art can still be seen at our Encinitas location, open by appt. only.

Bless a young Marine family!

Three beautifully framed Seewald reproductions.
From left to right: Paia, Maui, Tuscany, Italy and Mykonos, Greece.

Artwork is approx. 11x14 framed to 16x20".

Partner with Michael Seewald in blessing some young Marine families. Most hardly get paid enough to survive, even with on base housing. Our church, with many others in north San Diego county, have been doing that for many years, in that they get donations together of slightly used home goods, furniture, refrigerators, etc., and have a pick up center where it's all free for the taking!

It's our intent to get all you 'fine American citizens' to gift/bless many families with a wonderfully framed Seewald reproduction from his 70+ world-wide photographic adventures.

Gallery pricing is normally $189 for a framed piece, signed, matted, mounted and framed. But so we can bless as many Marine families as possible, we're discounting them to only $89.95, plus tax.

AND, if you'd like, we'll included your and your name in the title, along with Michael's name, or gift them anonymously.

We'll take a picture of the family with your gifted piece they'll receive, and send a copy to you.

Thanks for considering, just one would be nice, but a monthly commitment gift would be even better. We'd ring it up and you could cancel at any time. If you gift for an entire year we will BLESS YOU with an 11x14 original framed Seewald, of choice, valued at $1,000! Basically a refund in art! ;/)

So, partner with the Michael Seewald Galleries in blessing a young Marine family.
Let them know, visually, that some fine American citizens are fully behind them.

Thanks, and may God bless you and yours mightily for the gift YOU are,
Michael and Valerie Seewald

PS Originally the program
was thought up to bless the police,

as they are also under appreciated, but that turned out to be harder than we thought. They have
rules about the gifts they can receive. If we can work it out, you'll have a chance to bless whichever group you'd like! ;/) One of our collectors is Jerry Sanders, a former chief of San Diego Police, we'll contact him for more assistance. Fingers crossed. ;/)

Thanks so far to:

From Photographers Forum Magazine

Seewald on Channel 8 news

Here, Channel 8 TV coverage of Michael Seewald and his and his wife's gallery
 (in her name back then, he Valerie E. Wong Gallery)
and was produced without Michael given advance knowledge they
were even going to do a piece on him. How wonderful and what a
nice surprise. Folks for years came by and said they saw it. 

Of course, the prices quoted are old, and his travels not so low budget anymore, but it's still hard work and he gets folks to sponsor to this day, with some 69 world-wide trips under his belt now.
