Who we are

Seven Monkeys Art Gallery is the brainchild of Bill Schult and Mary Pfund—two Florida natives who fell in love with the beauty of Quilcene Bay and call the region “home.” Both are passionate about the arts and seek to build a thriving creative community by supporting local artists through their gallery.

Bill Schult

Entrepreneur. Adventurist. Artist.

First love of the ocean was surfing. While growing up near Naples, Fl, was able to catch the waves on the east coast of Florida.  Also traveled to catch the waves during summer vacations. Puerto Rico, Costa Rico, Barbados were just a few places that I was able to surf.

Built my first sailboat at 21, Port Cavernal, Florida. The Pelican was a Jim Brown 37’ Sea Runner.  Off to the Races!!   Sailing was in my blood as much as surfing.   I was able to combine these two passions with a 4 1/2 year solo sail around the world.  Kluann was a 44’ Gulfstar Sailmaster. 

Self discovery sums up this adventure!

Returning to Naples, morphed into starting Timbercraft.  We specialized in Plantation shutters and Custom Furniture. We also customized trim and doors for clients. As a pastime I designed and manufactured the “Everglades Runner”.  18’ Flats boat that could skim along in 2” of water propelled by a 90 horse outboard. We won the Innovation Awards at the Miami Boat Show.

In Key West I combined skills of craftsmanship with artistic imagination to create Nautical themed pieces for stores and restaurants.

Several Cigar stores have displays of cigars on Mahogany boats

We built out the interiors of these stores with shelving, displays and counters.  Many pieces were nautical themes. One of these boats is on display in our Quilcene Gallery.

The abundance of natural woods and timber framing peaked an interest in the Pacific North West. The front of our Gallery was first attempt with Timber Frame Construction. With the help of Local Artisan builders Bill constructed a Timber Frame entrance to Seven Monkeys Gallery.

This lead to building an Outdoor Timber Frame Kitchen overlooking Hood Canal in Coyle. Efforts now will be focused on filling the Gallery with Custom Furniture and other pieces of Art.

Mary Pfund

Philanthropist. Adventurist. Artist.

I was raised on the Island of Key West, very last in the chain of the Florida Keys. The town is known for its Arts, including  painting, sculpture, live theatre, writing and music. Being surrounded by this environment gave me a opportunity to experience and participate in the Arts.

It was when I was 50 that I signed up for Clay Class at the local Junior College. This lead to Painting. I had found my passion! The journey has been lead and guided by so many accomplished artists and fine persons.  

Today I am most interested in helping other budding Artist to find their way. My Art Studio, behind the Gallery will be open for artists in the community to explore different mediums and take classes from visiting Artist.  

I have not worked out all the details for this endeavor, more will be revealed.
