On July 3rd (2008) we made changes to this page... we highly recommend that you read about these changes, they are a reflection of a changing economic environment, rising fuel costs, and the importance of keeping art in our lives.

For some art is a luxury purchase and for others it is an expression of who they are.  Tough economic times have caused many to curtail non-essential purchases in favor of meeting basic human needs. Some chose to decorate their homes with cheap imported art, which has resulted in more of our dollars going overseas instead of into our economy.  Just as with the stock market, this is the time to invest in quality American art at excellent prices.

   The economy combined with the impact of having to slow down has made certain changes necessary and wise.

   My belief has been that most art buyers want to see a sample of the artist's work before feeling comfortable with  a purchase via the webpage.  As fewer people come through the gallery doors it has become increasingly difficult to generate sufficient income to meet the indirect costs associated with maintaining a brick and mortar gallery... this is cause for change !  The low cost alternative to maintaining a facility is by expanding our virtual gallery on line.  In order to do this I must find ways to assure you that the art that you are considering is a quality work of art. To accomplish this we are willing to go well beyond normal expectations to provide the information and imaging you need to feel comfortable with your purchase.  If our on-line descriptions are not enough, feel free to challenge us to provide the information you need.
