About us
The Little Black Dog Gallery was
started by children's book author
Jackie French Koller. Jackie has
written over thirty books for children of
all ages including picture books, chapter
books, novels and series. One of her
novels,
If I Had One Wish was recently
made into a Disney TV movie,
You
Wish
! To learn more about Jackie's

In addition to writing, Jackie has always loved
art in all its varied and wondrous forms, but
only recently did she find the time to devote to
her other passion, watercolor. The joy she
found in painting and the pleasure that her
works seemed to bring to others prompted her
to consider showing and selling her work. One
thing led to another and soon the idea for the
Little Black Dog Gallery was born.
Jackie gathered together some of the finest artists in Western Massachusetts and opened the gallery in the fall
of 2003. In the years since, the gallery has expanded to include books (of course), handmade jewelry, fine
crafts, and a kid's corner featuring children's books, crafts, and creative toys. Jackie hopes you'll visit soon and
return often. Jackie will be in the gallery during specified hours each week and all Little Black Dog Artists are
available to meet with patrons by appointment.
