… Today … Simmons works out of a one-room building fronting his house, a vegetable garden and pens of goats and chickens. Walking around looking at his works on shelves lining his studio walls is like reading a storybook of tales from his life on St. Helena.

about the gallery
Experience a walk through Four Corners Art Gallery, nestled in historic Bluffton. With a diverse collection of paintings, sculptures, photography, and pottery from local artists and surrounding areas, we’ve been a staple since 1998. Discover the beauty at Four Corners.
From the High Country of Colorado to the Lowcountry of South Carolina, this is where Charlene Gardner and her family call home. Moving here in 1985, she saw opportunity in this developing tourist area. Working for women-owned community-based small businesses helped guide her to take the challenge of starting her own business.
In 1998, Four Corners Framing was born. Start up focused on custom framing, including work for other galleries and designers on Hilton Head Island. Bluffton was emerging as an art destination, so the timing was good. Charlene soon expanded Four Corners to include gallery space to show artists’ work as well as the framing. Four Corners is a space filled with a wonderful variety of collectable art. The experienced staff masters the art of framing with innovative, informed and creative concepts. As a community member, Charlene takes an active role on a number of community based boards with the hope of making our community a better place for our visitors to come and for all of us to call home.
Four Corners Gallery, located in the historic part of Bluffton, is a collector’s gallery with the finest collection of artists and framing choices in the Bluffton area. The Gallery has been in business since 1998 and has continued to change with the times balancing its collection of local artists with brilliant new artists moving into the area.
We feature artistic treasures in all sorts of media including oils, watercolors, pen and ink, pastels, photography, pottery, wood burning and glass along with a large collection of bronze sculptures. The gallery’s focus is mainly works representing the Lowcountry.
Customer care and satisfaction are our priority. We provide museum quality framing, decorative unique mirrors, and oversized framing. We have a large variety of framing samples which can match any innovative idea. We also build custom crates when necessary to handle all your shipping needs.
Four Corners is also proud to offer our new service, Four Corners Installations. We are available to install and hang your artwork—whether it be new works you have purchased from the Gallery or pieces from your existing collection— we are only a phone call away.
