About Our Coverallan pitchko galleriesFine Art & Antiques

Allan and Shauna Pitchko’s passion for collecting art, developed long before open-ing their gallery in Rancho Mirage, it start -ed in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 1988, where they owned “Antiques Alberta”. Loving the California desert in winter, they bought a home in Rancho Mirage and decided to open a Gallery on El Pas -eo. Deeply involved in collecting art and antiques, they found they needed more

room. When a beautiful piece of commercial property with 12,000 sq. ft. building became available in Rancho Mirage, on Highway 111, they purchased it in 2011 and opened for business in January 2012. On entering this elegant showroom you will find high-end antiques, fine art and objects d’art, 18th, 19th and 20th century European and American paintings and bronzes. There is a variety of accessories and historical finds from Georgian and Victorian furniture to sterling silver, estate jewelry, art glass and fine china. Oriental antiques includ -ing unique porcelain and bronze pieces can be found here. For a particularly enjoyable art experience, we highly rec -ommend a visit to Allan Pitchko Galleries, 70-125 Highway 111, Rancho Mirage. (760) 324-9595. APitchkoArtGalleries.com.

Sherman’s Deli and Bakery is a true culinary landmark in Palm Springs and Palm Desert. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this Kosher-style family restaurant has been the “meeting place” for locals, vacationers and celebrities for over a half a century. Sherman Harris came to the desert in 1953 to visit a friend

East Coast Deli with West Coast Style

at Lawry’s Steak Ranch. He fell in love with the area, stayed on to manage the ranch and realized his true calling when he opened Sherman’s Deli and Bakery. A true family restaurant, it is now run by his son Sam and daughter Janet. Sherman may not be with us anymore, but his presence is felt every day in every way. Sam and Janet remember bussing tables and waiting on tables and listening to their father’s frequent reminders to “treat every one who came through the doors as though they were a guest in your home”. He loved his customers and his community and they loved him back. Sherman’s loyalty and dedication to customer service is as evident today as it was then, carried out by Sam and Janet in the same caring manner as always.

STEPHEN BAUMBACHLANDSCAPE AND PORTRAITURE PHOTOGRAPHERFor over 40 years, Stephen Baumbach has pursued the thing that has captivated him since High School…the art of photogra-phy. He has taught in classrooms, work-shops and been exhibited in numerous shows nationwide. His images range in scope from rodeos to national and inter-national architectural icons. Now settled in Palm Springs, CA since October 2014, his eye is on the surrounding desert…the o˜ -the-grid and outlier areas…that yield an extraordinary beauty he captures with his artists’ eye and his trusty Canon. All his photographs are produced digitally and he personally ÿ nishes each print himself. His love of the desert has him exploring the surrounding areas including the Anza Borrego, Algodones Dunes and Slab City

among others. He plans his sojourns through the use of satellite and weath-er maps, looking for the areas that will yield the treasures and hues he is aim-ing for…the browns, reds, blues, pinks and yellows, which reveal themselves at di˜ erent times of day or night. He refers to some of the images he shoots as the “Eighth Wonders of the World” and there are many who would agree with him. Stephen’s work is broken up into series, which currently include the Anza Borrego desert and Kemuri, which is a study in smoke. His works may be views at www.stephenbaum-bach photography.com.
