The Art Gallery - Our Story

Since opening in October 2010, Eye Candy Gallery has been dedicated to making art approachable and accessible to everyone. Our goal is to create a welcoming atmosphere where customers feel as if they’ve stepped into our own living room—one filled with a stunning array of fine art and photography.

In 2011, Eye Candy Gallery merged with its sister business, A Southern Studio (established in 2006 as a photography studio and custom frame shop), to combine expertise and better serve the community. Today, we proudly offer a wide range of services, including fine art, custom framing, art restoration, graphic design services, giclée printing, professional photography, art instruction, and art studio rentals.

Owned by brothers Frank and Woody Pierce, with Nancy Rawlinson serving as gallery director, Eye Candy Gallery thrives on the philosophy that happy customers are our greatest asset. We are honored to have been named Best Art Gallery in Moore County, NC in 2015 and a consistent finalist in the annual Best of the Pines competition. In 2021, we were also voted Best Frame Shop in the Sandhills Magazine Best of Moore County competition.

Whether you’re a long-time client or discovering us for the first time, we invite you to visit Eye Candy Gallery to experience why we’re a trusted destination for art, custom framing, and creative services in Southern Pines, NC.
