In the heart of downtown Burlingame stands a rare gem: Studio Shop Gallery, the city’s oldest retail business, family-owned and thriving since 1915. What began as a small photography studio and gallery over a century ago has evolved into a full-service fine art gallery and custom framing studio—an enduring testament to craftsmanship, creativity and family legacy. Janet and Carl Martin, who have shepherded the gallery through decades of growth, are more than business owners—they are cultural stewards and community connectors. Under their care, Studio Shop has become a place where art meets heart, where clients feel like family, and where timeless craftsmanship is celebrated daily. Now, a new chapter begins. Their daughter-in-law, Stephanie Martin, is proudly taking the reins. With years of experience already under her belt and a deep understanding of the gallery’s heritage, Stephanie brings a fresh vision rooted in tradition. “This gallery tells the story of our family, the community and our artists”, she says. “I’m honored to continue building that story.” As Studio Shop celebrates its 110th anniversary, it continues to offer expert fine art services, from curated exhibitions and personalized art consulting to museumquality custom framing. The Martin family’s passion for excellence and community connection ensures Studio Shop remains a creative space for generations to come.
