Established in 2006, Cole Gallery & Art Studio is located in the heart of downtown Edmonds, just blocks from the ferry landing in the center of town.  As the largest gallery and art school in the surrounding area, we feature nationally acclaimed Northwest painters and sculptors from Washington and Oregon, with a few artists from other states.  Many of our artist’s works come from the influences of the Impressionists with a wide range of subject and style from whimsical to classical. We also feature an exquisite collection of realism from contemporary masters of still life, landscape and the figure. In addition, we feature line of contemporary paintings, a more abstract, modern mix of art.

We specialize in original works in all sizes, but we also have giclee prints available by many of our artists. For those who want to learn to draw and paint, we have Cole Art Studio, an 800 square foot teaching space where Cole Gallery artists and instructors offer over 100 workshops and classes per year, both online through Zoom and in-person. We welcome you to browse in-person or online to enjoy some inspiration or to find the perfect piece for your home!

How We Got Started

Denise Cole opened Cole Gallery a vision for bringing a national class gallery and art school to Edmonds. This has been Denise's second gallery venture, having been a co-owner of a studio gallery in the area for several years prior to finding the perfect location to fulfill her dream. As an integral part of the Northwest art scene, Denise has been an acclaimed watercolorist and oil painter, juror and instructor for over twenty-five years. She is the founding board member of Art Walk Edmonds and the chair of The Mural Project which has seen the addition of world class murals installed in downtown Edmonds. Utilizing her relationships developed with fellow painters, sculptors from across the Northwest United States, Denise has succeeded in bringing some of the country's finest artists to her gallery and to the Edmonds community.
