The Artery Gallery was started by David R. Thomas in August of 1983. David, an established artist, also produces oil paintings and pastels by commission. Esia Ackley, store manager, joined The Artery staff in 1995 and is our mat cutter and production coordinator. Assembly and framing are done by our experienced staff. We all have college level education in design and art plus many years of hands-on experience. If it's about framing or art, we hope that you will give us a chance to serve your needs!
