Here to Welcome You!

Jeannie Polisuk Gallery Director & Founder

Jeannie Polisuk brings more than three decades of experience as a professional artist to her role as Gallery Director. Her work has been exhibited in both Canada and the United States, and throughout her career she has used art not only as a personal practice but as a way to guide and encourage others to discover their own creative voice through volunteer and community focused initiatives.

Before fully immersing herself in the arts, Jeannie built a successful career in the banking industry in Canada, working closely with high-value clients and developing a reputation for thoughtful service, attention to detail, and relationship building, skills that now translate seamlessly into her work with collectors, artists, and designers at the gallery.

She has a deep passion for interior design and a lifelong appreciation for architecture, which strongly inform how she curates the gallery and advises clients. Her eye for scale, spatial harmony, and how artwork lives within a designed environment allows her to help collectors and designers select pieces that truly belong in a space.

Jeannie holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Ottawa, her hometown in Canada. She spends most of the year in Naples, where she leads the gallery with both an artist’s perspective and a design-minded, client centered approach, returning to Ottawa for the summer months. Her dual perspective as both artist and director shapes the gallery’s vision and the meaningful connections it fosters between art, design, and community.

Emme Hertz Associate Gallery Director

Emme Hertz’s career is a natural evolution of design, refinement, and in intuitive understanding of how people connect with spaces.

She began her professional journey in college, working alongside some of the most respected architectural firms in Boston, San Francisco, and London. Immersed in environments where design shapes experience, she developed a deep appreciation for the intersection of structure, aesthetics, and emotion.

From there, Emme transitioned into new construction real estate, where she refined her ability to guide clients through one of life’s most meaningful investments. Her work blended vision with practicality, helping clients not only find homes, but understand the potential of what those spaces could become.

Ultimately, her path led her to the world of fine art, where everything came into alignment. Working with some of the premier galleries in Naples, Emme cultivated a reputation for her discerning eye, elevated taste, and ability to connect collectors with pieces that resonate on a deeply personal level.

Today, Emme brings together her background in architecture, real estate, and fine art to offer a uniquely curated perspective, helping clients create spaces that are not only beautiful, but meaningful, intentional, and entirely their own.
