online fine art gallery

The provenance or history of an original piece of art is of high importance for future value assessments / appraisals / sales. The collector(s) purchasing original art will be remembered in the historic timeline of the artwork as well as the life & story of the artist who created it...

Why do we call our online shop a “trading post?”

As like many of you, the owner’s family tree shows that the first of our ancestors to settle in the States were persistent individuals.

Mr. Barse, of French descent, settled in the Mid-West and opened one of the very first pioneer epoch “trading-posts”. SEGi’s owner chooses to honor their prairie roots and invites you to visit our modern version of their family tradition as boutique holders.

(We don’t sell furs or food like our ancestors did, but you are sure to find something to meet your fancy in our shop.)

What sets us apart from other online fine-art galleries?

First off, we are artist-owned! We know and understand the business and all of the aspects of fine-arts from a dual perspective.

Secondly, we maintain relationships as colleagues with our featured artists. We are on the same wave-length as them and look out for their needs.

Also, we have Mid-Western values and work-ethic.  The Gallery owner and all of our selected artist are determined, and hard-working, talented individuals.
