Kathleen Ewing
Owner / Director

"Washington has a number of excellent galleries specializing in photography; but for consistently high quality and a brisk schedule of lively, diverse exhibitions, the leader of the pack is Kathleen Ewing. Crossing the gallery's threshold is like entering the slightly funky home of a person with an exceptional eye for fine photographs.

....Her original idea was simple: feature the best fine-art photography, ranging from the late 19th century to contemporary artists from Washington and the world, and do it nice and easy. 'When I opened the gallery, I really didn't like the feeling you got in most galleries I had been in. They were really cold, intimidating and sterile,' Ewing recalls. 'So I decided to do it differently. We want people to feel at ease here, like they do in their own home. When they come in, we probably have the stereo going, we may be having lunch, tea or whatever. And we're friendly. I'm sure some people don't like that degree of informality. But it works for us.'

While the ambiance is low-key, the art is top-notch. Over the years, Ewing has developed an international reputation as one of the top photography galleries anywhere, selling prints ranging in price from $100 to $10,000 dollars."
