WHO WE ARE:
Spiderweb Art Gallery, or Spiderweb Art, is owned and operated by Greg Hildebrandt and Jean Scrocco. Jean has been representing Greg and his art for over 36 years, and Greg has been creating art for over 56 years, making them the perfect team!
Greg’s career as a fine artist and commercial illustrator spans many genres, but he is not just a creator of art. He is a great appreciator as well. Founded in 1995, Spiderweb Art Gallery showcases the art and collectibles of many excellent artists and is Greg’s tribute to a lifetime of his love of art of all kinds. He is constantly looking for the next artist to add to the gallery for your enjoyment.
For more than thirty years the principals of Spiderweb Art have had the privilege of working with world renowned artists as their artist representatives. Among these artists are Greg Hildebrandt, The Brothers Hildebrandt, Joe Quesada, Nelson DeCastro, David Boller, Mary Hildebrandt, Mark Romanoski, Andy Kubert, Lou Harrison, Tom Smith, Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Tom Fritz. As their representatives, Spiderweb Art has aided these artists by custom publishing their books and handling the sale of their original art and their limited editions, as well as licensing their artwork for reproduction on tin signs, puzzles, posters, etc.
We have also had the pleasure of working with and selling original art to many well- known collectors such as Michael Jackson, Robin Williams, David Copperfield, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and the owner of Word Perfect.

Several of the books he has illustrated are for sale on our gallery. Our collection also includes other titles that are illustrated by different artists, but they are equally as beautiful.

In the last few years, we have seen major retailers advertise that the layaway is back. At Spiderweb Art Gallery, we have no idea where it went. Since the inception of this gallery, we have set up layaway plans for our customers on everything from limited edition books to really expensive pieces of art. A layaway plan is the perfect vehicle to pay off the cost of an item over a period of time -- enabling you to purchase something that you love without the cost of it hindering your monthly budget.

WHAT WE'RE ABOUT:
