  Welcome to a celebration of Art and the Artistry of Presentation. You have arrived at the home page of the  Steele Pointe Art Gallery, Art Brokerage and Custom Frame Studio of Springfield, Ohio... we are honored to have you visit us !

  Before you explore the site please take a moment to read through this initial page. And if you would like to learn a little more about us, please use this link to jump to our About Us page.

   Here's some information that I want you to have... first, this website works on simplicity... no flashy blinkie things, no talking avatars, no videos and no slide shows... just a simple presentation of art by a group of very talented artists. Secondly, earlier this year I discovered that I had a relatively serious illness which required intensive treatment... the treatment was successful... but, my perspective and priorities have changed... slowly we're working our way out of having a physical gallery, but this is not expected to happen anytime soon.  To counter-balance this movement I have re-doubled my efforts to create a comprehensive and user-friendly virtual gallery. Unexpectedly this has taken a nice turn, artists are approaching us about being included while, at the same time, we are discovering and asking new artists to join us.  What does this mean for you... and, for the artists? First, a website where you will be able to see the art of both established artists and emerging, yet-to-be-recognized, painters, printmakers, sculptors, photographers and others. In turn, this brings new art before you at prices within your budget.  And for our artist friends, it means more money in their pockets, as well... our gallery charges it's artists far less than other local and major galleries, who commonly demand up to 50% of the artist's asking price. The Steele Pointe Art Gallery's maximum commission percentage is 25%  and, in many cases, less.  Art purchased through the Steele Pointe Gallery will leave more money in your pocket, while putting more in the pockets of the artists.

  Let me add one more dimension to what I've said above... we're not above approaching artists whose art you have seen in high-priced galleries and asking them to allow our gallery to sell the artwork for them.  Why would we do that?  Because we honestly believe that these very talented artists deserve the greater preponderance of the sale, and you, the buyer, deserve a lower, unadjusted (to off-set a high gallery commission) price.  If you take advantage of this offer be 99% sure that your intensions are to acquire the art or a similar work of art by the artist and that you are willing to allow the artist time to tactfully remove/rotate-out his or her art from the other gallery. 


Here's a bit of information about the "Contents" of this site to help you get around

bullet

Home Page... that's where we are right now, it's a general overview and source of information we think you might need to know up front.

bullet

Services Page... this is where you go to learn the extent of our offerings (i.e. art sales, art brokerage, framing, restoration, consignments, etc.)

bullet

Artists Page... this is where you go to see our listing of Artists and Art Publishing Houses, for the Artists (who currently have established galleries on this site) this is where you will see an artist's picture plus two to five thumbnailed examples of their work... the artists are not listed alphabetically for a reason... as you look for that established, more well-known artists you will also be looking over the artwork of our lesser known, yet very talented emerging artists, and, you just might stop to look at their galleries, as well.  Each of the artists - at the artist's name - is linked to their own on-site gallery on this website  Below the list of artists is a listing of the Art Publishing Houses and a link to their on-site sample gallery and a secondary link to the company websites. Additionally, in many cases, the individual artists' websites have a link between our gallery and theirs.   

bullet

Galleries Page... this page includes a series of sub-links to our on-site galleries for consigned art from estates, etc., frame-able rarities which have been collected by the Gallery, and prints and originals owned by the Gallery.  This is where you will find a number of more valuable pieces from artists such as Robert Wood, Percy Moran, John Friedlinger, Bev Doolittle, etc.

bullet

Featured Art and Artists...  on this page you will find a second listing of our artists that we think have exceptional talent, and whose art is moving out of the "emerging artist" phase... these are artists whose art may be more valuable in the near future.  Also, on this page you will see new works being offered by exceptional artists within the Art Publishing Houses... these artists are artists whose works (limited editions and originals) normally "sell out" quickly and re-emerge in the secondary art market at premium prices.

bullet

Art and Framing News Page... this section is, yet, to be developed. The intent is to bring you up to date with the latest trends in Art sales and the new lines being offered by our premier moulding makers... A.P.F. Munn, Larson-Juhl, Mercier, and Nielsen. This will be probably one of the last sections to be developed.

bullet

Moulding, Framing and Accessories Page... this section is in the process of being developed... like the Artists Page, this page will highlight and offer classic moulding, framing options, and accessories "extras". These "extras" will include the entire line of leather-wrapped frames, box, furniture, etc, being offered by the House of Mercier's extraordinarily talent Peruvian leather craftsmen, as well as, wonderful and unusual  things we find during our travels.  This section will probably be re-named at a later date as the non-moulding, non-framing, and non-accessory lists expand... anyone interested in a really cool and exceptionally safe tornado shelter ?

bullet

Shows and Events... this page will eventual list out the shows and events in which our artists are participating... but, we are not at a point, yet, where we can begin putting this list together.

bullet

Glossary Page... this section is an alphabetical listing of common and not-so-common art-related terms... everyone know what a "giclee" is ?

bullet

Links Page... the "links" page will eventual be the catch-all for hyper-links to related and semi-related art sites... however, at the moment, all our "links" are embedded in other pages, such as the Artists' galleries.

bullet

Sub-Web Gateway...  the sub-web gateway will eventually be a place where password controlled access will allow communications between the Gallery and a limited group of clients and business entities... such as, a place where a governmental buying agency can go to see specific items at government pricing.

bullet

Contact Us Page... this is where the viewer goes to find out how to contact us and a map of our location.

 

     We expect that the sale of our facility will end our ability to offer some works of art from art publishing houses, but not all.  Likewise, our ability to frame works of art will be curtailed significantly. We do, however, anticipate remaining a resource for finished frames such as the exquisite leather-wrapped frames and accessories from the House of Mercier and the very elegant replacement frames for art masterpieces from A.P.F. Munn.  These frames and accessories will be highlighted separately in other sections of this website.

   At a time in the future when our facility is sold and we receive an art order from you, your purchase will be shipped to you directly from the artist and craftsmen associated with the gallery. You have our assurance that every artist and every owner/craftsman providing goods and services for the Steele Pointe Art Gallery is personally known to us and is reputable... we stake our reputation on it. Secondary market sales will continue to be handled personally by Rita and I... all items will pass through us for inspection and accuracy of description before being delivered  to you. 

   Here is information about PURCHASING items from the Gallery that we suggested that you read... this has been put together an anticipation of the changes.

  Please take the time to enjoy our artists' personal galleries (Artists) and the links to their websites, where and when applicable. We believe you will also enjoy the items found in the specialized galleries (Galleries) which have been created to display and offer Gallery-owned art, rarities and art-related items consigned to the gallery for sale.  If you have questions, please don't hesitate to call or email us for additional information. 

   If you haven't already been there, please, go to the Services page to view a description of our services and those of our partners. 

   This  site is about art, artists and framing... it's about creative, insightful people (both near-at-hand and far away) whose art rightfully deserves recognition.  If we strayed from this purpose, or, if our goal of creating a simple and user-friendly website has not been met, please let us know.  All comments, suggestions and in-sights are welcome.  

We hope that you enjoy this site!
