It was at a family wedding in North Carolina when two cousins — who had taken a few art history courses together at Princeton — were catching up. One cousin, who was in the market for an oil portrait of his young daughter, queried the other, “You have contacts with international artists., can they paint a $10,000 oil portrait for less than $10,000?”
The answer was yes. ART GALLERY ORIGINALS, a portrait brokerage offering fine quality children’s oil portraits at affordable prices, was born.
Our first commission — actually commissions —- are a brother and a sister.
