No visit to Block Island is complete unless we visit Jessie's Studio. This is a wonderful gallery…read morewith a fantastic array of beautiful art for sale. Much is island themed, but Jessie is very selective and sophisticated. She has 'hidden gems' that don't have any connection to the island but are beautiful works of art. For example, on our last visit around Thanksgiving, we were thrilled to find a superb print by a French artist who did a series of etchings for a Proust novel. We had a hard time deciding on just one, and we love it. Over the past 15 or so years, we've bought a number of paintings and prints from Jessie. She's always a pleasure to spend time with, and the gallery is great.

For years, going to Block island has included at least one trip each time to Jessie's studio to…read morecheck out the new treasures she's added. I've always found something fresh and interesting that I must have. From tiny bits like little differently shaped turquoise vases, linen pillows mapped with the island, one of a kind earrings, to lovely prints and paintings of various sights and secret views by artists who obviously love Block Island as I do. Bringing your finds home reminds you of quiet and untrammeled places all winter long. And even the view from Jessie's windows is a slice of BI harbor traffic. Jessie is accommodating and always helpful with your wishes.' Don't miss this gem! CM

Their large space had a vast assortment of frames and mats from which to chose. I was expertly assisted in deciding on minor details like which mat best complemented the art, how to best size the mat, and which frame looked best. The work that they did for me was meticulous. The turnaround time was quick and pricing was reasonable. The staff was cordial and professional, and respectful of the art with which I entrusted them. I will return to Crestar for my future framing needs, and I recommend them without hesitation.
