Outstanding Artwork - We scour the nation and Europe on a continual basis to bring you the best artwork available anywhere in the U.S.

Value - We work directly with artists, eliminating middlemen. Our artists must agree to allow us to offer their paintings to the gallery for exactly the same prices that they sell them for directly. By locating the best work and selling it to you for "direct-from-the-artist" prices, we are certain that we are providing true VALUE.

The Newest and Best - We will only represent artists who vow to give us only their newest and only their best work. We will not accept less from them, and we will not offer less to you.

We Do the Searching and Screening - We look at hundreds of paintings for each one that we accept. If it's in our gallery, it's among the best available - period. This can save you months of fruitless searching on your own.

With over 2000 works of art in the gallery plus access to the works of many more artists, we are confident we can help you find the perfect piece or pieces to fit your needs!
