Frequently Asked Questions

Questions help me understand what the customer needs. Please let me know if I can help in your search for fine art.

Q: Do you carry local artists?
A: Most of our artists are local. Of our twelve artists, seven are from South Carolina. Two more are from the south. One is from New England. Two are from Great Britain.

Q: Have you always been a gallery owner?
A: Before I bought the gallery in 2006, I was doing international accounting and finance.

Q: Do the prices include the frame?
A: Yes. The price includes the frame. Occasionally the artist wants to show his art without a frame. We are changing the pictures on the website to show the frame with the painting so it will be clear. For now, please ask.

Q: Do you accept new artists?
A: Yes. I always look for possible new artists. My first obligation is to my current artists and as such I change slowly. You can send me digital images or slides of your work with information concerning expected price and previous sales. Email me with further questions. Look in Contacts for mailing information

Q: Can I buy a painting on approval?
A: Yes. I understand that if you buy a painting online, the original will be different. My hope is that in all cases it will be better. You will pay for the painting in advance. You have 15 days to return the painting in the same condition as it was sent for a refund of the price of the painting and applicable taxes. The buyer is responsible for the price of shipment. Email me with further questions.

Questions to Ask in a Gallery

• Can you move the painting to a different location?
• Would you print the details of "this painting" so I can keep track of the painting as I think about it?
• Could you give me some biographical information on "this" artist?
• Is it less expensive to ship a painting or take the painting with me?
• Can you make an appointment for me outside of regular hours?
• What is the return policy?
