Gallery owners Alan Perlstein and Terry Hamann opened Lily Pad West in Milwaukee in early 2015.  

Alan and Terry started as collectors 40 years ago, with limited funds but a passion for art.  Long time residents of the city, when Milwaukee started to lose some of its long-tenured galleries over the past decade, they decided to create a new art gallery.  

Terry and Alan own and operate both galleries, bringing beautiful art to collectors at Lily Pad East, Watch Hill, RI and Lily Pad West, Milwaukee, WI.
