Galleries

This gallery is simply the best gallery in Knoxville owned and operated by a dynamic family with lots of irons in the fire. Liz Gobrecht runs the show along with her son Bart and daughter Beth and a great staff. No feat is impossible at LizBeth and the mettle of the group has been proven time and time again when crunch time arrives and huge deadlines loom. I have been with this gallery from the ground up. I helped finish the sheetrock and painting before opening day! That was years ago. Now it is a big operation with much going on. Bart is even developing a revolutionary new engine in his non-existent free time. You just never know what might be happening behind the scenes but it is sure to be busy. They have a huge supply of beautiful frame moldings and always make my pastels look their best.

Blowing Rock, North Carolina. Blowing Rock is a magical little place in the mountains and the magic also inhabits Tim Miller's little gallery tucked in behind the Food Lion. Tim has made every inch of space work to create a special environment for the viewing and enjoyment of art. I feel every painting I bring in is elevated as soon as it enters the door! This gallery is well known for its distinctive and very classy style of framing. Openings are great fun and the little space is packed with unusually friendly and interesting people enjoying the artwork and the special wine Tim always has on hand!

The name kind of says it all. Robert Miller's gallery is in a house on a quiet street not far from the bustling main drag of Blacksburg, home of Virginia Tech University. Robert is a man with great taste. Each of his small group of artists has a unique style and Robert has blended the paintings into an intimate setting. He is an expert on African masks and has all sorts of fascinating African art tucked around the gallery. I haven't been at the gallery long but when I came in the door I knew it was a place I would love to show my work. There is just a special feeling in Robert's gallery that makes it well worth traveling off Main Street into a path less traveled.
