STONO GALLERY
A newcomer to the gallery scene, Stono Gallery opened in March 2023 to the art lovers of Johns Island when owner Simon Schatmeyer capitalized on his love of collecting abstract art and created a place where his passion would find its light.

“I hail from a family of artists,” he says. “My grandfather, mother, brother, sister and now my daughter are all gifted artists in some way, so I’ve literally been surrounded by art all my life. I’ve sold many works in other galleries and online, but this year I decided that I would open my own gallery and exhibit and sell my unique collection alongside some very talented local artists.” The fledgling gallery currently represents many local artists, and Schatmeyer is also working with many more since the opening.
“My gallery is different because of the unique and eclectic collection,” he says. “I am drawn to the bold and liberal use of vibrant color. I love the inherent complexity of abstract art, and what hangs on my walls is beautiful and sometimes unconventional. These are truly original, one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect the artists’ deepest musings.”
