When I first moved into my studio on Main Street there was a gallery on one side of me, White Sage Gallery.  Since then a new gallery has opened on the other side, and I am now sandwiched between White Sage Gallery and Studio C Gallery.  I have to say, White Sage is a feast for the eyes, looking like it could fit in anywhere in Scottsdale or Santa Fe.  The owner Diane Keltner works in bronze, creating magnificent sculptures.

In contrast, Studio C Gallery has rotating shows throughout the year of different groups of artists, with interesting themes.  In the middle, is my humble studio,The Rich Artist,  full of large blank canvas, partially finished masterpieces and a select number of paintings hanging randomly.  

"Curious and Cautious" Hereford cow/calf painting by Denise Rich recently sold.

Most recently Sophie's Gallery has opened at 140 E. Main St., in a big beautiful space they have begun to fill with treasures!  And on the opposite end at 120 E. Main St. is Silver Creek Fine Art and Custom Framing, a newly remodeled huge fine art gallery in the front, and in the back a state of the art custom framing shop run by owner Lynn Endicott.   Many of my collectors have chosen to have their pieces framed here before shipping, and here is also where I have my shipped paintings professionally packed by Lynn for safe travels anywhere in the world.

Soon the East County Art Association is opening another newly remodeled space at 124 E. Main St., making us a total of 7 art galleries/studio spaces in a row here on Main Street, and as soon we will begin joining forces for a 3rd Friday Art Walk event.  If you are interested in hearing about our events as a group, be sure to leave your email address in the comments and I will see to it that you are added. Looking forward to seeing you!
