Purchasing Works from Creighton-Davis Gallery

Because we acquire art from a variety of sources we are often able to provide very low prices especially when compared with offering prices in high priced art capitals.

Due to a high volume of miscellanous e-mail, phone contact will assure prompt attention to your interests.

On each description is a "more info" button. Please fill out this form completely. It would be helpful if you were to put a time when you are best reached by phone in the comments section. Or if you prefer, please call us direct. Our hours are by appointment.  We can be reached at the numbers shown at the bottom of this page or fill out and send the e-mail forms "information" with each description.

Most purchases are made with credit cards. This is probably the safest as well as most efficient method to complete a purchase. One important advantage of using a credit card is that credit card companies protect users (buyers) from fraud as well as misuse by unauthorized parties. Fears about fraudulent use of credit cards on the internet seem to be vastly overblown. Since most of our transactions are finalized over the phone, such transactions are little different than the typical phone order where a credit card is used. (See warranty section for more details.)

This internet color catalogue represents only a portion of our inventory. Other works by these and other artists may be available in all price ranges. The inventory is updated frequently as older works are sold and newer works acquired. Special offers are also posted from time-to-time.
