History
The Marshall Gallery of Fine Art is a coming together of two Scottsdale galleries, both of which found success under their own name.

The Marshall Gallery
Founded in 1998 by attorney DeeAn Gillespie, the Marshall Gallery rapidly became a respected destination on Scottsdale’s Marshall Way, an area renowned for superior contemporary art. The Marshall Gallery achieved prominence for its leading contemporary oil painters and sculptors, mostly from Utah – a little-known haven of fine artists. DeeAn soon married Peter Strub who would help her achieve the gallery that would reflect the consciousness of art as art separates humanity from the rest of creation. They followed the philosophy that “Beautiful experiences leave lasting impressions and the intensity of art can haunt and wake one in the middle of the night. True beauty has power – human beings relate instantly to it whether graphic, formed, music or language arts – and requires no interpreter really.”

The LeKAE Gallery
David and Linda Sherer, who started their fine art gallery careers in New Mexico in 1977, specialized in traditional western art and Southwest impressionism for 24 years in Taos. Then in 1996, they opened their ‘winter’ gallery on Main Street, Scottsdale. The LeKAE Gallery added a new dynamic to contemporary art and American fine crafts on Main Street by representing numerous glass and metal artisans.

In 2009, the Marshall Gallery acquired and merged with the LeKAE Gallery to bring the sophisticated fine art of one in concert with the fine crafts of the other.
