Be an Artist

Founded in 1998 as an avocation by the erudite and cultivated attorney DeeAn Gillespie, the Marshall Gallery rapidly became a mainstay of Scottsdale on Marshall Way, the district renowned for superior contemporary art. The Marshall Gallery achieved prominence for its leading contemporary oil painters and sculptors, many of whom hail from Utah " an albeit unknown haven of fine artists. Although cutting-edge contemporary, their artists are firmly rooted in the classical disciplines.Peter and DeeAn Strub, Marshall Gallery principals, reflect that consciousness of art as art separates humanity from the rest of creation. Art in all its forms defines human beings " it is a fundamental of the human condition. And art is everywhere. Art defines people, our stories, emotions, and places. Clearly, great art withstands the test of time and is a link with our fellow beings of all ages. Beautiful experiences leave lasting impressions and the intensity of art can haunt and wake one in the middle of the night. True beauty has power " human beings relate instantly to it whether graphic, formed ( sculpted ), as music or the language arts " it requires no interpreter really.David and Linda Sherer, who started their fine art gallery careers in New Mexico in 1977, specialized in traditional western art and Southwest impressionism for 24 years in Taos.

Many of the local galleries at that time specialized in so-called "western" and "decorative" art. Peter wanted to help leaven the market and lift its sights with a different, classically-oriented offering, for which both the Marshall and LeKAE galleries are renowned.Peter feels his very savvy clientele is usually a step ahead of trends. "We have the privilege of helping people graduate from simple pleasures to a deeper engagement with art, " he says. "Most people love to surround themselves with objects of meaning. The opportunity exists to enjoy true fine art as well as the simply decorative, " he continued, "and the aim of the Marshall | LeKAE Gallery is to provide a one-stop " shop window' of fine art and fine craft for discerning collectors."
