🎉 Goodbye 2020 & Best Fishes for 2021 – A Year in Reflection from Steve Diossy

As 2020 comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what was truly an unforgettable year—full of challenges, surprises, and moments of incredible support from each of you.

🛥️ Boat Shows, Festivals & Flamingood Beginnings

The year kicked off strong with some amazing events—Stuart, Naples, and Englewood Boat Shows in January, followed by South Florida Garlic Fest, the Miami Yacht Show, and the always-awesome Jupiter Seafood Festival in February. We even made our debut at the Atlantic City Boat Show (and yes, New Jersey, we’ll definitely be back!).

Our final show of the year was the Marathon Seafood Festival in March… and then, like all of us, everything changed.

🙏 Grateful Through the Storm

As the pandemic hit, uncertainty loomed over all small businesses—and we were no exception. But thanks to your incredible support, we not only made it through… we grew.

In the fall, we proudly opened two major retail locations:

• Our Authorized Retail Store in Pompano Beach, run by the amazing Jeff Wolfe

• The Official Steve Diossy Gallery in Vero Beach, my hometown

These shops are stocked with everything from canvas prints to performance shirts, lobster trap framed artwork, cornhole boards, and so much more—all crafted to the highest quality, right here in Florida.

I’ll be doing monthly signings at both locations in 2021, so make sure to follow me on Facebook and Instagram for event updates!

🎨 Thank You, From the Bottom of My Heart

To everyone who purchased something—from a sticker or decal to a limited-edition canvas—or even just sent a kind message: thank you. When you support my work, you support not just one artist, but a community of local businesses across Florida that help bring these pieces to life.

My art is, and always has been, a tribute to the coastal lifestyle, the nature of Florida, and the everyday humor and beauty I see in this place I call home.

🌅 Looking Ahead to 2021

Yes, 2020 was tough—but there’s light on the horizon. I can’t wait to get back on the road and connect with everyone in person again soon.

We’re keeping things a bit lighter on the travel side this year, but I’m thrilled to announce we’ll be attending:

• St. Petersburg Power & Sailboat Show – January 2021

• Palm Beach International Boat Show – March 2021

I’m looking forward to seeing familiar faces, making new friends, and celebrating the joy that art brings.

🥂 Here’s to Brighter Days

As we wrap up the year, let’s raise a glass to community, resilience, and fishful thinking. Stay safe, stay healthy, and thank you again for being part of this wild and wonderful journey.

Cheers & Best Fishes for 2021!
