We are now accepting "VISA" again

We are now accepting "Visa" and "Debit" cards again. We will no longer accept MasterCard or will we ever carry a personal MasterCard ever again. It is unfortunate that Consumers and Merchants have to pay the price for Credit Card fraud when MasterCard had the capability to prevent it. I guess there lots of money to be made off of fraud. As long as Credit Card companies can profit from fraud there will never be incentive to stop it. We will continue to fight this to the end. Do you know what's in your wallet?

Terry Redlin Retires

On June 29th, 2007 Terry Redlin announced that he was retiring immediately. He will no longer be painting or signing prints. He has been North America's most popular artist for almost 13 years. He artistic career started with "Winter Snows," in 1977. His warm (even if some were winter scenes) Americana landscapes were enjoyed all over the world. There will never be any more originals or limited edition prints of new images. We wish him a good healthy retirement and thank him for all the pleasure that his paintings have brought us. To view some of the images go to Gallery or Terry Redlin.

MasterCard Fraud

We have been hit with major Credit Card fraud in which it appears could have been prevented by MasterCard. Due to the on going investigation in this matter, we will no longer be accepting MasterCard or any affiliated cards. There are 11 Merchants involved and MasterCard has put all the losses onto us (the Merchants). This has been devastating to our business and we are going to take this as far as we need to, to make this right so that other businesses don't get hit with similar situations. It could take a while in getting this matter resolved. In the mean time we are accepting money orders, banknotes, registered cheques, debit, cash and Visa if the card is presented to us in person. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Gallery Artist "Kevin Healy"

Kevin Healy has now joined our family of Artists. His medium is stone from around the world. His carvings reflect our culture of marine life and animals of the Canadian west coast. Check the Artist page or Kevin Healy for his newest carvings.

The loss of a great Artist

It is with great sorrow that we have to announce that on Saturday November 25th, 2006 Brian Tyson passed away peacefully at Chilliwack General Hospital. He was well known for wood-turning Wedding Goblets. He will be missed around the world.

Frame designing on hold.

At this time we will not be doing any new framing design orders because with our move to Harrison Hot Springs we will no longer be receiving delivery from our suppliers. We are looking for new suppliers and hopefully can resume our framing business. For Insurance, Restorations Companies or Contract work it is business as usual. You can do pick ups and delivery at our new location. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We have moved to a new location.

On July 31st, 2006 we moved out of our Chilliwack location. We had been in this location for over 10 years and celebrated 13 years of business on July 1st, 2006. We did not wish to renew a lease at this location and were not able to find a suitable space in Chilliwack so we explored elsewhere and are very happy with our new location.

We moved to 160 C Lillooet Ave. in Harrison Hot Springs. All operations will be done out of this location. This will bring us much more versatility to our purchasing ideas and there will be a lot of new product such as jewellery, sculptures, artwork and all kinds of giftware. There will be continued changes to our business in the next year as we get to know the clients and their wish lists. To our dear and loyal customers that have followed us through our other moves, we hope that we will continue to see you at our new gallery. It is a 25 min. drive from Chilliwack.

We have brought our existing inventory with us, if there is anything that you need or if there is artwork or giftware that is of interest to you for purchase, come and see us in beautiful Harrison Hot Springs. Any gift certificates that have not be redeemed will be accepted at Royale Art Salon.

We have sent out notices to our customers that are on our mailing list. Those of you who wish to be on the new mailing list, let us know. If you have moved, please call us with your new address.

We are sooooooo excited about moving and hope you will visit us at our new location. Our new Phone Number: (604)796-0799.

OUR NEW WEB SITE

Welcome to our new web site. We hope you will enjoy all the wonderful artwork and services we have to offer. Let us tell you about ourselves.

Fred and I (Marie) were art collectors before we went into business for ourselves. The enjoyment of the collection was so great that we came to the conclusion that we had to have it all. The only way that would be possible was to have a gallery for our own, so we could enjoy all kinds of artwork.. On July 1st. 1993 we became a business. Now we can buy and sell art to our heart's content. We had a few hurdles to jump before we became confident in what we were doing. One of the deciding factors to open a gallery was that we could not get conservation framing in our community and had to drive 90K to a good reputable, experienced framer and designer. So Fred went and got an education in good conservation framing and myself in designing. Within 2 1/2 years we were offering conservation framing and great design. Twelve years later we are still bringing in great framing designs for today's trends. In this business the learning process never stops, it is a continuous learning experience and challenge. We will continue to educate ourselves to bring the best service and workmanship we possibly can.

We will have a newsletter update ever three to four months depending on the activities that take place in the gallery. Personal appearances and events will be posted in advance so no one misses out on the action. Check the Alert on the homepage for news updates.
