What our collectors are saying
"If I could give Piper a sixth star, I would in a heartbeat. She is simply awesome, as is her gallery. We have been in the area since 1966 and seen many changes with new galleries being the latest trend over the past 10 years and so far, IMHO, hers is the best.
Piper simply goes out of her way to help make your selection the best possible and leave you smiling. The gallery has the best local and regional artist and is not full of the same old bears and moose (do people know there are no moose in Truckee?) but wonderful variety of styles leaning towards more modern. The feel is similar to some of the galleries you will find in Park City or Carmel.
She is having a few new pieces commissioned for us and has brought pieces by the house so you can see them in the light they will live in when you purchase. She listens to what you need and finds a piece you will love."
