About Geoff G.

Geoff Gaunt is the fourth owner of Providence Picture Frame & Dryden Gallery, established in the mid-1800s, though his tenure distinguishes PPFDG as a family-run business for the last six decades. From humbler beginnings as a part time art installer / designer in 1988, Geoff earned his MBA and leveraged that experience into a consulting role with PPFDG on strategic and project management. After several successive years in a corporate setting, Geoff returned to PPFDG where his expertise in metalworking, woodworking, photography, and design converged with his formal management training and experience and love of hands on work with the Rhode Island community. His unrivaled dedication to PPFDG thereby made him the clear choice for Vice President, and ultimately Owner. With an expert team with unparalleled longevity (many boasting two decades with PPFDG) at his side, Geoff is a trusted resource for homeowners, collectors, interior designers, architects, museums, galleries, and other design professionals seeking to enhance their space in their own vision.
