Unframed Originals

by Jere Real

Jere Real (1934 - 2013) was born in Mississippi, but lived most of his life in Lynchburg, VA.  He traveled extensively to New Orleans, San Francisco and New York.  These cities feature prominently in his landscape work.

The paintings in this collection are owned by one of Real’s family members, on whose behalf we are selling them.

Real’s work is currently 20% off. The five piece shown below are just a sampling of what can be seen in person in the gallery.

ABOUT US

Leah Fox and Stephanie Gibson are two artists who met years ago through a love of jewelry making.  Both began painting with intention in 2020.  Their first joint foray was in 2021, when they mounted a tiny pop-up art fair in Stephanie’s yard.  In July of 2023, they began dreaming of creating an inspiring space where artists could come together and build a community of support.

Third Story is that space.  There are many ways for you to engage with this community: come view an exhibit, join a workshop, or find affinity and inspiration at one of our community events.
