Hemmerling Gallery
Bill Hemmerling’s paintings of spirituals, jazz musicians, and his muse, “Sweet Olive,” have charmed collectors and curators alike with their dignified naiveté. His second career as a painter spanned just 7 years, following his retirement from Sears and until his death in 2009. The gallery features giclees and a few rare originals, as well as works by several protégés.
