Michael's Gallery
For over 50 years, Michael Ibey has been a major force within the art and framing industry. Inspired by his family's art business, he began designing and building one-of-a-kind frames as a teenager. Since then, he has built a thriving career doing framing designs, art commissioning, buying and publishing for Michael's Gallery.
Early in his career, Michael was a pioneer in the framing and printing world. Michael had major success selling art and framing throughout the United States.
In the 80's, Michael's gallery commissioned extraordinary painter Robert Lyn Nelson, who is celebrated for his marine paintings and "Two Worlds" style, to paint his first, widely successful diptych called Hanalei Nani. With this diptych, Michael created a new form of printing referred to as "mixed media serigraph"; this technique blends serigraphy colors to a lithograph.
Since the late 90's, Michael has been acquiring an eclectic array of works by acclaimed artists such as Kimm Byers, RC Gorman, Eyvind Earle, Jorn Fox, John Genis, Hans Skalagard, Breck Rothage, Maria, Aldo Luongo, Barbara Owens, Orlando Agudelo-Botero, Itzchak Tarkay and more. His collections are sought after and sold to auctioneers, cruise lines, retail galleries and private collectors.
An influencer to his core, Michael has been a leader in shaping the industry over the years with his innovative approach! Today, Michael is the owner of Michael's Gallery in Costa Mesa, CA where he is helping clients find unique art from his eclectic collection to enhance and add expression to their businesses and homes.

Great Selection, fair prices, very Happy
This is my Go To gallery to find beautiful art. They have weekly auctions that run quickly. Bid before the auction if you can or contact Michael. I have purchased art from here for the last 1 1/2 years. The art is genuine, mostly original pieces. The staff is very responsive and will frame any pieces and ship them to you in a timely manner. I recommend Michaels Gallery to everyone who seeks quality art at good prices.

Micheal went above and beyond
Micheal’s did a great job packing the artwork, yet the shipping company somehow found a way to damage the pieces. This could have turned out to be an absolute nightmare. Especially since these are original works. However, Michael went above and beyond to make things right. He had me ship the artwork back to his gallery where, not only did he do a fantastic job of repairing the paintings, he let me pick frames, framed each of the pictures and shipped them right back to me, all of this at no cost to me. And, he was just a joy to work with. In fact he was so professional, responsive, thoughtful and funny that I feel like I made a new friend

What an experience!!
I won the bid on a Bill Mack work of art. I am in Florida and the delicate piece was being shipped from California so naturally I was concerned with damage. However, the Gallery used high quality craters and the piece arrived at my home in perfect condition. Working with Michael and his staff was a real pleasure. I hope to do business with him in the future!

Excellent customer service
I won a bid on an item at Michaels Gallery. I was shocked at the transatlantic shipping cost and found the whole process very stressful as I am not a professional buyer. However, the folks at Michaels Gallery looked into it for me, tried to reduce the charges, and even sorted an unexpected customs fee-they went above and beyond, for which I am very grateful.

Smooth quick, easy purchasing
This is not my first purchase from Michael’s Gallery. I find they have a huge selection and move swiftly during their auctions. It’s very easy to communicate with the gallery. The prices are always reasonable. They offer framing for pieces that are not already framed. They have a huge selection and give excellent artistic advice. shipping and delivery are quicker than the other auction houses. I recommend Michael’s gallery to anyone who enjoys art and is considering purchase or even a wonderful visual experience.
