Marylou Fischer Gallery: story

The Story

MaryLou Fisher’s Gallery was established back in 1984, and is located in a historic 1804 home on the Guilford Green.

The philosophy at the gallery/framing shop revolves around the idea that THE CUSTOMER IS THE KEY ELEMENT to success. The number one concern is customer service, and working to provide newcomers and veteran patrons with original artwork and framing that meets their needs.

The gallery features nationally and internationally recognized contemporary artists and their one-of-a-kind pieces. Some of the artists have work in the Smithsonian, The Whitney Museum of Fine Art and the Chicago Institute of Fine Art to name a few, and we feel privileged to showcase and sell their paintings in our gallery.

In 2001, The New York Times writer William Zimmer traveled to our gallery to review one of our artists: Jerry McLaughlin. Below is an excerpt from that review:

“It is refreshing when an artist in his mid-70’s displays more energy and imagination that many younger painters, especially when both of these qualities are well disciplined. For the viewer, a retinal adjustment is required”.

So come see Jerry McLaughlin’s work in our permanent collection, as well as the other fabulous paintings we have on display. And while you’re at it, grab a cappuccino around the corner and explore historical downtown Guilford.
