When we met in an NYU graduate art program in the mid 1990’s, we recognized our mutual interest and love for collecting the past.  Our professional experiences each bring something different to Stewart Leshé Collections.  Carrie comes to the gallery from the film and television industry where she’s worked a set decorator, developing a love of real life interior spaces.  Her affinity for antique and furniture collecting complement partner Greg, whose background and interests encompass more of the fine and decorative arts. Trained as a sculptor and fine art photographer, he has worked for the past 20 years on various commercial and fine art projects.  Greg remains active in the arts community, both as an artist and advisor to galleries and arts councils.

Our gallery features a distinctive, yet eclectic range of furnishings, decorative objects, and artworks spanning three centuries of production. The collection is uniquely presented in a series of spaces that strike a balance between home interior design and an art gallery environment.  We are committed to supporting and exhibiting contemporary artists who work in a diverse range of media, subjects, and interests, from emerging through notable, advanced careers.  

Our belief that, many forms of art can be experienced in the context of a real life interior space as an alternative to the conventional, often intimidating, gallery environment, can be summed up in three words:  art, life, antiques.
