A Message from the Owner

Over the course of nineteen years, the collectors who lived here accumulated collections of visual art, books (notably a collection of poetry), tableware, and other objects.

Most of these works have a clear provenance:  they were purchased at galleries, auctions, and from the artists themselves.  Where feasible, we have printed out information about these works.

All prints have UV-reflective glass and matching black frames (except where already-framed when purchased).  All water colors have high quality wooden frames; the Surendorf watercolors are framed in cherry wood.
The visual art collecting began with folk / outsider art.

Folk / Outsider Art

2.  Mose Tolliver, two portraits:  George and Martha Washington.  House paint on 15” x 16” wood panel.  These are earlier works, pre-collaborative, not painted directly for a customer.  Martha has a red nose and smaller goatee.

3.  Eric Legge, flowers on 9 ½ x 37 wood panel.

4.  C.W. Conor, mixed media, painted paper on tin.

5.  Arbon Lane, boxers, house paint on wood.
