OTW

On The Wall Vintage and Fine Arts started as a passion project for me so that I could meld my love for collecting art and paper ephemera, as well as an avid history buff, into a creative outlet.

I was lucky enough to meet amazing people along this journey who have taught me so much about art, pottery, researching, collecting, selling, restoration, and preservation. I cannot say enough how blessed I have been to cross paths and also remain friends with some incredibly talented and brilliant people. They have definitely inspired me to pursue this passion from a hobby to a part-time commitment.

While I may be new to self-promotion and creating an online presence, I am not new to reselling. I have been in this role for about 15 years now and continue to grow.

With the exception of some vintage prints, almost everything here will be originals and not reproductions.  Every item offered is unique. The paper may not be perfect.  There will be evidence of age.  But that’s part of the beauty.  Revel in it.

While I will at times keep the original frame, especially with antique paintings, when it comes to the ephemera pieces, every item will be custom-framed in vintage, antique, or quality hardwood frames. I typically will always replace old matting with acid-free cotton rag mats to keep the item protected for years to come.
