Ella Walton Richardson

 

OWNER / GALLERY DIRECTOR

bio / Ella grew up in Columbia, SC; the youngest of five children. She graduated from the University of South Carolina in 1982 with a BA in Political Science and a BA in Psychology. After her freshman year she opened her first business, Myrtle Beach Sailing School. She and her 2 business partners gave sailing lessons and rented Aqua Cats. At eighteen she was already getting her feet wet in the business world. 

 

In 1997 she assisted the late John C. Doyle in opening his first art gallery at 54 Broad Street and was highly successful in helping to broaden his appeal to both a regional and national audience. Richardson managed all of the sales for his original artwork and helped with marketing.

 

On November 2nd, 2001 she opened her doors to the gallery on Broad Street. Ella's objective was to bring American and Internationally acclaimed painters and sculptors to the Charleston art market. At the time the area represented mainly local talents. Her intuition was to bring art to resonate with the diversity of the visitors to the area as well as local buyers. Giving them options to have both local representational art as well as scenes and subjects from all areas of our country to Europe and beyond. 

 

After a quarter century on Broad Street Richardson has weathered both the literal storms of the area as well as the economic, political and pandemic related storms that have hammered Charleston over the years. She remains grateful to be in a business that provides a venue to express her passion of the arts and share it with her friends, family and clientele.
