Gallery & Studio Shop

I find it hard to believe that 35+ years have passed since I opened my doors for business.  Most days you can find my at 105 North Main Street in Kernersville.  Here is where I prefer to do business but in recent years have realized there are other avenues to sell my art and an occasional frame.

My work can be viewed and purchased at www.richardhedgecock.com

You can also view some current deals on Etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/hedgecock

I have also started traveling to different regional shows.  Sign up for my newsletter/email to stay informed.

35+ Years Ago

It was the fall of 1977 when I opened my shop, which I originally named The Framing Studio.  It was the beginning of an entirely new road in my life; and like the other roads I've been down, I had no clue where this one might lead.  My original location was a 600 sqaure-foot space downtown that was hardly large enough for a frame shop - let alone a gallery - but somehow I managed to cram it all in there.  I was so naive that I thought all I would need to accommodate the public was about 20 different mat colors and a few dozen molding samples.

Today, I have more than 2,000 frames and over 300 mats to choose from; it still seems like it's not enough.  I survived this start-up experience because God looks after dummies.  The sign that I spent a week painting fell and shattered about an hour after it was put up. so at that moment, I decided that if I were to make it, it won't be because of a sign.  It was 33 years before I put up another one.
