Gallery was founded in 1985 when Scott Riley began to
exclusively promote the artwork of his brother C. Ford
Riley. After a few years, as the demand for C. Ford Riley’s
work increased, other styles of artwork were becoming
of great interest to his clientele. Riley began to collect
work from various established artists and soon it was
necessary to have a larger space in order to display
the growing inventory.
In
1992, Riley moved his Baymeadows Road gallery to historic
San Marco centrally
located in the shopping
district known for its privately owned boutiques and
restaurants. Scott and his wife Ann begun renovating
the space by transforming it into a spacious fine art
gallery, replacing the entire façade of the
building with beige stucco, installing large display
windows, and custom black awnings.
Installed in the interior of the gallery were elaborate
custom crown moldings and chair rails, refinished wood
flooring, a faux painted showroom floor and high ceilings-
creating an impressive appearance and feeling of space.
Currently Stellers Gallery is
one of the longest operating, privately owned galleries
in the northeast Florida region. It has created an
artistic presence in almost every private club in Jacksonville,
high-profile commercial business installations, and
Jacksonville’s most sophisticated residences.
Stellers Gallery is a full service fine art gallery
that offers complimentary consultation, delivery and
installation of any artwork purchased from or framed
