Cherrylane Fine Arts is a family run Art Gallery, Bespoke picture framing service and fine art printing bureau, dedicated to representing the development of contemporary artists in Ireland and abroad. It was setup by the current proprietor and director Michael Hayes beginning with the picture framing in 1990 following with the art gallery in 2001.

Michael and his wife opened their framing service in Co.Wicklow with an idea to provide an unconventional service to artists, a creative approach to the art of framing customizing frames and finishes to suit each individual piece of artwork.

The type of service they run takes an understanding of art and artists and they work closely with their clients continually learning the nature and needs of Irish artists.

Following a fire in the framing workshops in 2000, in which everything except the 400 year old walls were destroyed, the premises' have been renovated with 1000 sq feet allocated as a gallery space dedicated to exhibiting contemporary fine art.

Due to the close relationship that has grown between the family and many Irish artists over the years in framing, coupled with the knowledge, love and understanding for the visual arts, progress has been rapid and they now stand proudly as a recognized contemporary fine art gallery, continuing to evolve and expand.

Their son Robert worked along side his father from a very early age learning the trade. At the age of 18 he traveled to Holland for 2 years and worked in a variety of jobs but inevitably he found himself settling in a framing workshop, mostly making high end conservation framing for works on paper.

In 1998 he traveled to San Francisco where again he worked in the art industry this time working with much larger museum frames, learning the craft of hand gilding and hand carving. He then returned to the family business bring with him all that he had learned. During this time he became increasing more interested and passionate towards the visual arts.

It is now the gallery sector of the business in which he is primarily involved, alongside his sister, Jennie who has also worked in the business from an early age. Growing up in this environment has fundamentally contributed to her love for art.

After finishing school Jennie studied Business and IT for three years, after completing her course she began working in Cherrylane Gallery in Greystones, which has since been relocated to the old Cherry Orchard in Delgany, Co.Wicklow. In 2005 she took a one year sabbatical where she traveled throughout Asia and Australia learning and experiencing a great deal about native art.
