I first met Dennis Bredow and his wife Krista 11 years ago in 2013 when they walked into the gallery that I worked at in California. A common first impression of Dennis Bredow might be, this is the nicest person I’ve ever met; and that was certainly my first impression of Dennis, but my second impression was even more powerful when I saw his art. Because I instantly wanted to work with him! His cool kindness is infectious, and Dennis makes it easy and exciting to work with him. As a result of our partnership, we sold 149 paintings of Dennis’ over a 10 year period of time. It didn’t take long for Dennis to become a dear friend and an artist I’ll always champion; so it’s easy to understand why Dennis Bredow was my first phone call when I decided to open my gallery in Houston, Texas.
