Our Story

Découvert, when used as a French verb, means discovered — an apt word to describe our gallery that opened in 2012, comprised primarily of drawings.  We are grateful beyond words to the independent historians, scholars in universities, curators of works on paper in museums, drawing specialists in major auction houses, art dealer colleagues, and knowledgeable collectors for their help in more fully understanding works in our keeping.  We consider their guidance, offered amid busy schedules and work obligations, to be a point of grace. Our gallery is at 73 Main Street in Rockport, Massachusetts. We curate exhibits regularly in Master Drawings in New York.

Sadly, Donald Stroud passed into peace in March 2021. Surviving the love of my life for 45 years, my soulmate, has brought about the evolution of the Law/Stroud Foundation (lawstroudfoundation.org) to support efforts to change the cultural narrative for older adults from limitation to capacity and encourage vibrant independent living through new paradigms in compassionate care, transportation, nutrition, exercise, and exposure to beauty. I remain in service to you all.
