Our simple philosophy is this... "To help our collectors acquire works of lasting beauty."
We are dedicated to helping our art-collecting patrons realize their goals. Through providing insight about the artists we represent and their work, we help beginning collectors develop sound collecting strategies that reflect their personal interests and aesthetic sensibilities. With established collectors, we work to help refine their collections, and assist in finding ways to integrate new work into their existing environments. Other services include home installations, custom framing and advice on lighting, placement and installation (We have several experts on staff).
History has shown, when collectors bought art they loved, their investment is paid back many times over, if it happens to increase in value, that’s a further benefit. Investment shouldn’t be the primary purpose of collecting, even though an artist’s established market is important to consider. Surrounding yourself with artwork is an enriching and intimate experience.
Your collection will reflect segments of your personality, developing taste, and independence of choice. We want to help you acquire new works of art that will bring you a lifetime of pleasure. Above all, don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be embarrassed to engage us in discussing a work of art or an artist you appreciate. It is easy to recognize a dealer who has a genuine passion through their desire to share knowledge.
If you’re not sure how a particular artwork will feel in your home, don’t be afraid to inquire about an in home viewing. Most art will surprise you at how much more comfortable it looks in your own space than it does in the gallery. The work becomes a familiar friend and adds to the whole of your collection. Ask us about installation ideas and assistance, as an experienced gallery we have installed various works in a range of locations.

| ORIGINALS AND PRINTS |
Originals - Originals range in sizes from miniature to massive and prices from $1,000.00 to $500,000.00 and up.
Call us for details (904-829-0818).
Giclee - Giclees have revolutionized the art industry and are considered to be the state of the art form
of reproducing the artist's original work. Giclee is a digital method of reproduction where the original
artwork is scanned into a computer and a revolutionary process sprays micro jets of archival pigmented inks
onto artist canvas or archival papers. The result of the small pixels of color provide an amazingly smooth and
consistent image. With tremendous fidelity to the original, it can portray color, light, shadow and subtleties
like no other method. Giclee is the wave of the future in fine art.
Lithographs - Lithographs are made by printing paper or canvas on a printing press. Four separate colors
are applied as a pattern of "dots" (microscopic ink drops) on the canvas. Loves' carries canvas transfers
in many editions.
Etchings - Etching is one of the most ancient forms of print making.
Etchings are "original prints", an extension of the artist's original work. The artist takes a copper plate and draws into it with a stylus.
He then wipes the plate with ink, lodging the ink into the etched lines, places a piece of paper on top and puts it through a press which
exerts pressure, transferring the ink from copper to paper, just as the artist has drawn it.
Serigraph - Serigraphs are manufactured by creating "screens" that are laid on top of the canvas. The screens
have hand-cut holes cut in them that allow ink to flow through them onto print. By cutting holes in the screens in different shapes and sizes,
ink can be laid down in different areas of the print.
For cleaning your canvas, simply dust the print with a feather duster as necessary.
