     Selecting Fine Art for your personal or business space is a complicated and subtle process.  We combine years of special knowledge, not only about art, but about the kinds of art that are most likely to stay the distance.  We sell art that not only has sound qualitative values, but that enriches life day in and day out, the kind of art that, like fine antiques and architecture, only grows more deeply appreciated over time. 

     We, as practicing artists, have many years of study and understanding of the qualities of timeless painting, and you can be confident in our taste and expertise.

     The works shown here are just a few samples of available art.  We will also accept commissions.

      We always have an excellent and ever-changing display by artists Andrei Kushnir, Michele Martin Taylor, Barbara Nuss, Michael Francis, Carol Spils, David Baise, Stevens Jay Carter, Ross Merrill, Bill Schmidt and Sara Linda Poly.
