"Gallery Merrick has a great roster of interesting and new artists and Joe Bembridge is super helpful AND knowledgeable! We were first time buyers of a large scale piece and he helped us find the right artist (and piece) —without being pushy. I love going in and seeing what the latest works are. Recommend Joe and the Gallery 100%"
