We are approaching 27 years in business on the Sunshine Coast this May- with far less fanfare than our 25th anniversary exhibition – 25, but with no less gratitude for our clients and supporters in the community that make this longevity in small business possible.

Joe is a trade qualified picture framer and has been framing now for over 30 years. He brings this wealth of experience and knowledge to his framing designs and conservation recommendations. In that time he has also developed recognition as a discerning gallerist, curator and champion of abstract and contemporary art.

The business was originally established in 1998. At that time Joe was a young entrepreneur, opening his first business beachside on Beach Road Coolum. He had just moved to the Sunshine Coast, via Brisbane/Toowoomba, and is originally from Tenterfield, northern NSW.

In 2017, the gallery and framing business relocated to 43 Access Crescent to a purpose-built workshop and creative space within the Coolum Industrial precinct.

Joe had a vision for the direction of the gallery and has created an exceptional space to showcase contemporary art. We are proud to be able to work with, and for, our wonderful roster of featured artists.

You will find me (Erin) behind the scenes answering emails, working on the website, posting on socials, and coordinating and administrating our exhibitions (among other things).

We look forward to seeing you soon to assist with finding your next art work to love.
