“Helen,
you set the standard for collecters' intra-personal relations.
I always leave the Cape with fond memories of meeting
with you and the broad range of "stuff" you
have exhibited. Also, I always tell friends who are enroute
to the Cape 'You have got to stop and see Helen! She
won't harass you to buy something. She is just a warm and
sharing person, and her gallery is fun!'
I think I have a fairly attuned sense
about gallery standards dealing with three separate ones
here in Dallas,TX, one in Salado, TX, one in Lafayette,
LA, and one in Alexandria,VA, on a fairly regular basis.” David

“Beautiful
art, great people, wonderful space — It's so rare
to find everything in one place. Even though I live in
Boston, Addison Art Gallery is easily counted as one
of my favoirite destinations to view art. As soon as
I walk through the door, I feel like I'm home... an environment
that is at once art-friendly and people-friendly. I feel
very fortunate to have found
a place that gets it so
right.”

“This is a ‘Must-Visit’ gallery
for all art collectors. My husband and I always find several
pieces to admire and purchase at every visit. The variety
and quality of work is exquisite. Over the years we have
purchased landscapes, still-life and portraits from various
painters that show work at Addison Art Gallery. Helen Addison
has a real knack for finding the best talent, locally and
internationally. We love working with Helen!” Eileen

“For
years, I have had a close association with the Addison
Gallery in Orleans.... From the first day I walked into
their gallery, I was impressed by the diverse range of
artists and that the paintings on display change often,
making the gallery
an exciting place to visit since there always is something
fresh and new going on there. Addison Gallery works hard
to introduce
the unconventional along with the classic, more traditional
paintings, but I must say that even the traditional paintings
seem to have
an edge that makes them unique.
Addison Gallery, which is not a large gallery,
manages to represent many talented Cape artists, such as
the bold and gutsy Kim Kettler,
whose eye popping color
and sensual oysters make one swoon. There one also may find the works of
Peter Kahlil, Joan Branacle and Odin Smith, all known for
their incredibly lush and
beautifully detailed Cape landscapes. The dreamy seascapes of Gavin Brooks
usually are on prominent display at Addison's and they
are so hauntingly beautiful that
anyone needing restorative therapy should be required to view them! Also
on display are prominent national artists including Logan
Hagage whose reflective, ethereal
paintings linger in the imagination long after one leaves the gallery.
The space
at the Addison Gallery is warm and inviting where the visitor
(whether serious collector
or curious browser) is always made to feel welcome.... a
gentle, unobtrusive way of letting one observe,
roam and reflect on the art that they have carefully and purposefully
selected for their gallery. When one is at Addison's, one
never needs to rush or
feel pressured to buy. The place is very "user friendly" ...
only too happy to educate, accommodate and illuminate any and all of
the work that
is housed on the three levels of their charming studio.
As a collector of
art, I always have loved the hunt. To walk through a gallery,
viewing all the works
on exhibit, then having that rare experience
of finding
a painting that moves me, by "speaking to my soul" is such a thrill.
Since discovering the Addison Gallery two years ago, I've had the good fortune
to find many special paintings that indeed speak to my soul. These works
have since enriched my life not only by giving some lively punch or a bit
of serenity
to my rooms, but most especially by allowing me to view my world from another
far more interesting perspective.” Cynthia

“I
have never left the gallery without a wish list of future
purchases. Sometimes I leave with a "must have" painting
under my arm. I look forward to every opening.”

“Whether the subject matter
is a Cape Cod landscape or a simple still life, AddisonArtGallery
always presents a vital and vibrant group of work. Just as
inviting are the openings, where artists and art lovers mingle
in each
room of the charming gallery. Each painting we have purchased
is a treasure, not only because of its beauty, but because
it reminds us of this wonderful group of artists that have
become
our friends.” Amy Ford

“Helen's gallery always looks fresh. When you enter, there's
always an "oh wow", I love it! " surprise.
She highlights each artist in the best possible light.
From sculptures, to
traditional, to edgier work, there's something for everyone
at the gallery. The art is always beautifully displayed
and her artists' events are part of the social fabric of
Orleans.” Trish O'Connor

“Much
to our delight, we discovered Addison Art Gallery in
Orleans many
years ago.
The variety of artists that are represented at the gallery
continue
to keep us coming back for more! Helen has
a talent for selecting talented new artists to mix with
those who have become established names in the Cape art community.
We especially look forward each year to the new season of
art openings
held at the gallery that allow us to get to
know the artists on a personal level.”
