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, whose art is extraordinary "pop-surrealism," 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.
Ron Sterling, who works weekends in his main profession, psychiatry and during the week as a professional photographer and artist.

The brick and mortar version of the Sterling Images Gallery that was found at 7035 Beach Drive SW, Seattle, WA, has been retired due to a Notice of Zoning Violation that was upheld by the Director of the Seattle Department of Planning and Development. We will keep some of its history posted here until we reorganize this site.
Please note that we will also always be listing selected pieces of art at our online eBay Sterling Images Art Gallery.
We thought we would dedicate the February 11, 2009 Art Walk event at Sterling Images Gallery to the Taj Mahal, since the Taj Mahal would not have existed except for the love of the Shah for his third wife, who died while giving birth. What better Valentine to give than a structure that is so pure and so magnificent that it is included in the list of the Seven Wonders of the World. From my perspective, as a stunned photographer of the Taj Mahal in 1982, I would have crawled on my knees from New Delhi to see it again, under the same conditions. We gave out free 8x10 prints of the Taj Mahal to all of our Art Walk visitors. Sterling Images, Gail Ann Photography, The Kenney, and West Seattle Wine Cellars provided free shuttle service from the
West Seattle Junction to their sites on Art Walk night, February 11! It was an interesting and challenging test drive of the concept and we suggest that the West Seattle Art Walk folks take a more serious look at providing such a service to their art walkers in the future.
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 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.

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!"
