My interest in art conservation began as an undergraduate student at Boston University and led to a lifelong practice in painting conservation. For decades, it has been my pleasure to include Joan and Jerry Hawk among my clientele. They are conscientious and attentive to caring for artwork responsibly, and I see that same attention applied to their prospective clients.
Michael Max Mosorjak, MFA, BFA, Proprietor of Painting Conservation LaboratorySome paintings stop you mid-breath. We find those paintings.
Joan and Jerry Hawk have been passionate collectors of fine art for 39 years, and for 14 years have been sharing that collection with the world. Bedford Fine Art Gallery was built on decades of hands-on expertise and a reputation for honesty. Museum directors say so. Certified appraisers say so. So do the customers who keep coming back from across the country and around the world.
Our customers are the best. Here's what they have to say.
Jerry & Joan - Thanks for your hospitality and helping us find this beautiful new piece for our home. Until next time...
Adrienne & Jon W.

Dr. Terri Nicole Sawyer
"I first met Joan and Jerry through a recommendation from my sister to go see their wonderful collection. Once I started to talk with them, I could see how much they loved learning about the psychology of art like me! I had the privilege to speak about Dialectical Behavioral Therapy art viewing and how the brain works when you view art. Art creates a safe place to bring forth emotions and Bedford Fine Art Gallery provided a relaxed environment, helping people find the art they love."
Dr. Terri Nicole Sawyer, LCSW, CFLE + C-DBTBedford Fine Art Gallery - Helping you find "the one."
- Your home should feel like you, not like a hotel lobby.
- Great collectors do not have to be art experts. They are people who buy what moves them and never look back.
- The right piece does not simply fill a wall. It changes how a room feels at the end of a long day, when the light is low and the house is finally quiet.
- When you find it, give yourself five minutes with it. No distractions. Just look. You will know.
- That is the piece that makes guests stop mid-conversation and ask, “Where did you get that?”
