The Gilded Frame, Caldmere

Everyone has something to hide.
Dr. Abena Osei's brother. Warm, social, and moves at the speed of conversation. His eye for talent is exceptional. He genuinely believes art can save a town.
A sculptor whose work is dark, physical, and unsettling in ways that sell surprisingly well. Lives in the studio apartment above the gallery and works at night.
A French-Canadian transplant who came to Caldmere for the seafood. An extraordinary chef, a terrible businessman. His food is transcendent. His management style is volcanic.
