Over the years, we have bought pieces here because the young kids became teens and we took their tastes into consideration for major pieces. So many galleries are dismissive when they see someone who they believe isn't a buyer. But families are good customers. Not surprised they have stayed in biz.

The artwork is breathtaking and the curator/owner is incredibly knowledgable and friendly. I have visited a number of times to view the art and ask questions. I have a water color painting from the gallery, beautifully framed and it's the best piece I have ever owned. I can't recommend this gallery and it's owner enough.

Since writing my review yesterday of the North Star glass gallery, I have not been able to stop…read morethinking of a quaint little gift shop that I have visited many times in Nantucket because the beautiful and colorful glass is what first drew me inside. Through the years I have collected many things, from antiques to sports memorabilia with Norman Rockwell in between, enough so that I could probably open my own shop. Call me a pack rat, if you will, but my fascination with glass catches every one's eyes. I once had a comment from a visitor coming along as a date with our male friend and he commented on my paperweight collection and she said, oh you can buy those at Target, Ha! I buy nothing unless it is signed or marked and if it has papers, all the better. It is here at the Beach Glass of Nantucket that I bought my one and only extra large "paperweight". It measures 11" wide by 10" tall and 4' deep and is the most gorgeous sunset scene! It weighs a ton and they would have shipped it for me to Pennsylvania, but I decided I would rather get it home myself. While we spent the day touring the island and having lunch, they went out of their way to package it safely. The artist is well known and it is Murano glass and from Oggetti, Italy. I paid $1,500.00 and the artist passed away shortly after, probably because he heard how much I paid for the piece, just kidding. I have it sitting in a downstairs window that catches a lot of light with my dozen and a half smaller paperweights surrounding it. Good glass paperweights are a real work of art to me because of the pain staking details they bring together to make gorgeous flowers and beautiful scenes. This shop does sell a lot of glass, some of it is cheap, so you do have to look. They have the coolest note cards decorated beautifully by local artists. They also have local artisans who hand craft jewelry and artists who paint beautiful scenes on glass goblets and flower vases. The shop is small but loaded with gems, you just have to take the time to look. Nantucket is like stepping back in time... Until you see the prices. Not wheelchair accessible.

When a gift gallery is impeccably curated, there is no reason to "shop around."…read more G.S. Hill Gallery on Nantucket is just that. With a perfect selection of jewelry (mainly pearls), glass, china, hand carved wood pieces, paintings and of course, Nantucket baskets, you will surely find many gifts for the ones you love and one for yourself. The owner is lovely. Having recently celebrated 30 years in business, she understands her clientele and doesn't need to play the "hard sell" game. Her pieces are absolutely stunning and truly sell themselves. On my recent trip, I purchased the new "must have" freshwater pearl and leather bracelet by designer Pam Freitus. Each pearl is chosen by Freitus, each bracelet made by hand. Despite their immense popularity, the prices are still "gentle." Depending on pearl size and closure, you can spend as little as $40. Customized pieces are available, all correspondence can go through the gallery. Gentlemen: Trust me here. The woman in your life will be thrilled if you visit G.S. Hill. Give the owner your budget and describe who the gift is for. You will be a gift-giving superstar! NOTE: There is a great selection of pieces made with irregular pearls. I personally find the irregulars have a bit more personality and style than their perfect counterparts, and you know what? They are a lot less expensive. If you're looking for a little something to bring back to Mom, go with their recycled hand-pressed sun-catchers. Small sun-catchers are $9 with the large being $22. The traditional Nantucket baskets come in range of prices, but no matter where you go on the island, you'll spend a small fortune. If you're going to make the investment, I recommend G.S. Hill. The quality of her goods and the entire shopping experience is worth it.

When I had a painting that I no longer wanted, I entrusted her to sell it for me, no contracts signed, and only a spoken agreement. After some time, I inquired about the painting and was told it hadn't sold so I requested it back. I was then told she had no access to the painting so I requested the agreed payment. I was then met with the insistence that she had no money to pay me. I will spare you the details, but after much heated discussion, she eventually paid me, who knows what she did with the painting. I recently contacted the gallery owner about a painting from an artist that presumably she has, as the artist has not received her share of the sale. A month later and after 2 emails, I have not heard a word from her. I ask myself, Why? Sold the painting but doesn't want me to know so she doesn't have to pay the artist what she is owed? Doesn't want my business? By the way, the artist in question, whose multiple paintings I have bought from Kathleen, has pulled out of the gallery after 20+ years.
