Michele Martin Taylor's "A Painted Garden" was her first single artist exhibition since returning
to Oregon. In her new paintings, the artist explores color and form in the famed Shreiner's Iris Gardens. Her roots
as a colorist and her dual life-long loves--of painting and of gardens--breathe life into her painted garden. These
are among the most beautiful paintings we have ever displayed.
The preview of the exhibition above shows some of the paintings still available. Please
call or e-mail us for a free brochure of this exhibition. All paintings subject to prior sale.

Selecting Fine Art for your personal or business space is a complicated and subtle process.
We combine years of special knowledge, not only about art, but about the kinds of art that are most likely to stay the distance.
We sell art that not only has sound qualitative values, but that enriches life day in and day out, the kind of art that, like
fine antiques and architecture, only grows more deeply appreciated over time.
We, as practicing artists, have many years of study and understanding of the qualities of timeless
painting, and you can be confident in our taste and expertise.
The works shown here are just a few samples of available art. We will also accept commissions.
We always have an excellent and ever-changing display by artists Andrei Kushnir, Michele Martin Taylor, Barbara
Nuss, Michael Francis, Carol Spils, Stevens Jay Carter, and Roger Doyle.
