The Looking Glass Art Gallery & Studio
Gallery owners Millie and Juan H. Espino offer the artistic excellence of their locale through their gallery and studio. With collectors from all over the world, including places like New York, France, Germany, Mexico, and Hong Kong, the gallery has succeeded on the investment they’ve made into the artistic community of Hawley.
