About Us

We are Diane & Rich Flanegan. We live & work in West Cape
May, NJ. just 1/2 mile from the ocean. We are both artists -
Rich is a painter working in acrylics, oils, pastels &
watercolor. Diane is a Stained Glass artist. We both love to
make our art and to teach. We do custom work.
We own and operate Flanegan Art & Framing at 324 North
Broadway in beautiful West Cape May, NJ. just steps from the
heart of Victorian Cape May, the nation's oldest seaside
resort. We do high quality custom framing and matting that
reflects our love of art & special things. We also teach a
variety of art classes to children & adults.

Together we have 4 children(all grown!!!!!), a cat and a DOG.
