We have started to receive inquiries regarding Phil Ash's pet portraits, after we posted the gorgeous mixed media piece of Dolce. I spoke to Phil and he is willing to accept commissions. Feel free to contact us if you are interested in receiving a one-of-a-kind portrait of your pet.

Hellooooo Lovers of Port Deposit! Talented artist, Chris Holmes, has delivered amazing art just in time for the holidays. The original of this beautiful watercolor, "Main Street, Port Deposit, MD" has sold but we have two framed and numbered giclee reproductions available. I actually had to look for the numbers to determine the original from the giclees.
p.s. Please disregard the flash from our camera.

Greetings! We hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Today is the anniversary of us opening our small art gallery, in our home, in Port Deposit. In the spirit of giving thanks, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for your patronage over the past three years!

As you know, everything in our inventory is handmade or homemade, by local artists, artisans, and authors. Our mission is, and will continue to be, giving creative souls a place to display and sell their work. We are very fortunate to showcase some of the most amazing people in our area and we are thankful for their commitment and trust to feature their work in our shoppe.

In the past month, we've had a few new artists join us with some really cool new pieces. And of course, our "seasoned" favorites continue to refresh our more popular items, as well as introducing some new choices in their lineups. We are truly blessed to work with all of these talented people!

Please stop by and see us this holiday season. We will be open later today and all weekend. Don't forget, if you need a last minute gift for someone, you can always hit us up on Facebook Messenger or call us and we'll open up at any time if we are home.

We look forward to serving you, and the art community, and hope you have a great weekend!
