“I always wanted to have a gallery of my own,” says Tilley, who named the
gallery after her maternal grandmother. “While doing research with respected
friends and colleagues who are gallerists, a common refrain was the uncertain
nature of not owning the space itself. With Lottie Mae I can own and operate
the space while exploring my nomadic tendencies.”

Outfitted with hardwood floors and LED gallery lighting to showcase works in a
variety of scale and medium, Lottie Mae is, itself, a meticulously crafted work
of art. While interior viewing capacity is three people at a time (masks are
mandatory), portable easels and exhibition tables allow for exterior displays.
Additional Covid-related safety measures include an interior UV Light Sanitizer
used daily, and a state-of-the-art ventilation system.
