What is the history of The Signature Gallery?
The Signature Gallery was originally founded in 1997 in Scottsdale, Arizona, as the Charles H. Pabst Gallery. With the success of the Scottsdale location, The Signature Gallery Laguna was opened January 1, 2008 to better serve the needs of art collectors and visitors of Southern California. Then on October 1, 2009, the third gallery location opened, The Signature Gallery Santa Fe. Charles Pabst's goal is to make each gallery unique, showcasing his work, as well as offering high quality art from other premier artists.
What type of art do you have?

Can the artwork be purchased online?
Of course, but not in the true sense of using a Shopping Cart, etc. We will need to discuss the specifics of your selection on the phone to complete your purchase. If you are able to make your selection using our web page, send us an email with your choices and we will get back to you with all the particulars. Call any gallery or e-mail us at info@thesignaturegallery.com.
A Giclee is a high-quality reproduction of a painting, using organic, water-based archival inks. The name is from the French word meaning "to spray," indicating how the print is created. The inks are rapidly "sprayed" through the micro-jets of a printer onto a canvas surface thus creating a piece of artwork amazingly similar to the original. Charles H. Pabst personally embellishes and signs each of his own giclees, giving each the look and feel of an original. A final coating is then applied to protect it from moisture and UV rays.
