Laura J. Graham began her gallery career in 1996 at Mickelson Gallery in downtown Washington, DC after having a variety of jobs, which often employed her art abilities. A well-known and respected DC art dealer, Sidney Mickelson, expanded the antique and picture framing business his father began in 1915 by building an art gallery next door to the original G Street location in 1960. Concentrating on 20th century artists, Mr. Mickelson was most noted for being the first dealer to represent MC Escher in the US. Laura worked as co-director of the gallery. When Mr. Mickelson died in 1999, a long-time employee, William W. Parker, bought the framing end of the business, with the intent to form his own art venue. Laura assisted with the move to New York Avenue by setting up the business systems, manning the framing showroom, promoting events and coordinating the gallery. Staffed with talented people, and led by the charismatic Bill Parker, WWP Gallery became a vibrant part of Penn Quarter. When Bill Parker passed away in 2006, The Old Print Gallery was in transition. It had been purchased by The Old Print Shop and the two remaining founders were reaching retirement age. Laura started at The Old Print Gallery in 2008, and became manager in 2011.
Caroline joined the Old Print Gallery staff in the fall of 2010. She received a BA in Anthropology and Visual Arts from Emory University, graduating a member of the Lambda Alpha Honors Society in Anthropology. Caroline previously worked with the GSA and Friends of Clara Barton Foundation to research and photograph the documents and artifacts of Clara Barton’s Civil War apartment and Office of Missing Soldiers, located on 7th Street in Washington, DC. She has also worked as an independent website designer and developer. Caroline brings to the Old Print Gallery a keen interest in nineteenth century prints and maps, as well as a passion for working with contemporary print artists.
Alan has managed the frame shop at The Old Print Gallery since 1987. He has certification in the Professional Picture Framers Association and is a graduate of the Corcoran College of Art and Design.
