Biography

The Helen Spencer Schlie Art Gallery was part of the “Old and Rare Books and Art” store in Mesa, Arizona, owned by Helen Spencer Schlie from 2011-2014.

Originally located in Apache Junction, Arizona, the Helen Spencer Schlie Gallery moved to Mesa, Arizona, in 2011 when Helen Spencer Schlie opened her new bookstore; the gallery and bookstore were housed together in Helen's "Old and Rare Books and Art" store. The gallery and bookstore closed in 2014 when rent could no longer be paid due to a lack of foot traffic. The gallery often featured artwork created by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
