Marine Arts Gallery About Us

About Us

Marine Arts Gallery established in 1968 by Russell W. Kiernan and Donald V. Kiernan. It is the oldest

gallery in the United States devoted exclusively to marine paintings. The family tradition continues with the second generation involved with the running of the two galleries. We always have a fine selection of early marine painters such as Buttersworth, Jacobsen, and many others. We have the finest selection of the very best contemporary artists including exclusive representation of Roy Cross, RSMA, Terry Bailey, RSMA, Richard Loud, ASMA and several other emerging marine artists. We have two locations, the original gallery located in historic Salem, Massachusetts on the campus of the Peabody-Essex Museum and our second gallery opened in 1992 in the Venetian Village in Naples, Florida.

We are always available to answer any questions from the seasoned marine collector to the beginning collector.

All of our paintings include fine art appraisals and are fully guaranteed. Paintings can be easily shipped for your convenience.

We are always looking to discreetly purchase marine paintings, and also offer the services of restoration and framing for your fine art work.
