Mr. Cerminaro, who is the world famous principal hornist (French horn) of the Seattle Symphony whose art can be described as "sublime kandinskyesque miniatures."
Mr. Lopez, who is a "veteran" of over a hundred shows and many different art forms, and who continues to show pieces from his extraordinary "pop-surrealism" world, featuring the series "Into the Deep End."
Ryan Henry Ward is a whimsically serious artist, well-known for his endearing characters found on murals all over Seattle. We are honored to be able to represent Ryan and display his art in an environment which is as fanciful and special as his art. Come on by and be delighted by it all.
Ron Sterling, who works weekends in his main profession, psychiatry and during the week as a professional photographer, artist, and, now, gallery manager. His ducky garden art and the products based on his original ducky characters -- calendars, greeting cards, fine art prints, and t-shirts -- have gained worldwide attention.
Art and Fine Photography
Welcome to the online version of Sterling Images Gallery ("SIG") which is located in West Seattle, Washington.
Sterling Images Gallery officially opened at 7035 Beach Drive SW, Seattle, WA 98136, on August 13, 2009. Hours are Sundays and Thursdays 4-8 p.m., and by appointment. Call 206-784-7842 for private showings which are available during the week.
We feature the unique, whimsical, and exquisite art of John Cerminaro, Xavier Lopez, Ryan Henry Ward and Ron Sterling.
The gallery is offering framed and unframed, limited edition, and signed high-resolution, archival-quality color prints of the legendary Chagall Fresco which is the ceiling of the main performance hall of the older Paris Opera House (Palais Garnier).
These photographs are unarguably the best quality photographs of this magnificent ceiling that can be found for purchase on the Internet. If you are delighted and entranced by Chagall's work, this ceiling fresco will take your breath away.
Marc Chagall signed the fresco in the White Section of the outer circle. Another signature is also placed in the Inner Circle between the Inner Yellow and Blue Sections. Viewing and photography of the Chagall fresco is only allowed from two box seats in the hall, one on the left side and one on the right side. Because the chandelier is so large, it blocks the Yellow Section from the left side and portions of the Blue and Green sections from the right side. The Yellow Section is dedicated to Tchaikowsky and features Swan Lake, Firebird and Giselle (by Théophile Gautier). The White Section is dedicated to Rameall and Debussy and features Pelleas and Melisande. It also contains Marc Chagall's signature.
The Red Section is dedicated to Stravinsky and features Ravel and Daphnis and Chloe.
The Green Section is dedicated to Wagner (Tristan and Isolde) and Berlioz, and features Romeo and Juliette.
The Blue Section is dedicated to Mussorgsky and Mozart and features The Magic Flute. Like the Outer Circle, the Central Section consists of five color areas -- Red, Yellow, Blue, Green and White. Sections are dedicated to operas by composers such as Bizet, Verdi, and Beethoven. The first set of greeting cards using high resolution photographs taken by Ron Sterling in October 2005 are available at our online Zazzle.com Greeting Card Store. Valentine's cards and blank cards are available. See low resolution previews below. Please visit our online greeting card store to view higher resolution previews and to make purchases.

Sterling Images Gallery ("SIG") is pleased to announce that it is now showing three seriously whimsical (or whimsically serious, depending on how you look at them) pieces from the mind of "Henry." If you don't know Henry, you should. His art will light up your life. Honest! Even his sad elf piece is endearingly delightful. We think Henry's work is a perfect ingredient for the gallery's tasty mix of fanciful but serious art. You can read more about Ryan Henry Ward at several places: Best Urban Muralist, Seattle Weekly; Muralist Ryan Henry Ward lets his canvas stretch wide over the city, Seattle P-I; and, Man with a Mural Mission, MonkeyGoggles.com.

The opening of SIG on August 13, 2009, was such a success that we decided to do a weekly, Thursday evening Duckwalk (like an Art Walk, only way more fun) every Thursday in September and October of 2009. Below is a copy of the official Duckwalk flyer. Weekly drawings for one child and one adult ducky item (t-shirt or calendar) took place.
The Rackner children were big winners of Duckwalk prizes given away during September and October 2009.
"Put Your Art Hat On" is an original saying created by Ron Sterling for Sterling Images Gallery, and it means what it says!
In celebration of Halloween, Sterling Images Gallery ("SIG") presented Ducky Warhol as "King Duck!" He was the host of the First Annual Ducky Warhol Halloween Celebration presented by Ron Sterling and Sarah Fetzer. He was heard saying "I'm dead! You're not! So, have a great Halloween!"
