About Starry Night Gallery
Starry Night Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting the finest original fine art, crafts and handcrafted jewelry in Central Florida. Collectors and art lovers from across the country visit us to connect with Florida's local and regional artists and makers.
We believe buying art is a personal journey and a reflection of who you are. If you don't see exactly what you're looking for, we can commission a custom piece from any of our artists and help you discover something made just for you.
Our hope is simple: that you'll become one of our repeat collectors and part of the Starry Night family.
Our Story
Every gallery starts with a feeling. For our founder, Lei Wen, it was the joy of watching people stop in front of a painting and simply feel something. As an artist, she knew creativity grows when it's shared. She dreamed of a place in downtown Daytona Beach where art wasn't hidden behind velvet ropes, but lived out loud.
Her close friends and fellow artists, Grace Senior Morandi and Maddi Laurin Watkins, believed in that dream before anyone else did. Their encouragement turned it into Starry Night Gallery.
From the start, our mission has been bigger than hanging art on walls. We're here to build community and to build culture. We give local artists a stage, welcome first-time exhibitors beside seasoned painters, and bring people of every background and generation together. Neighbors become friends over paint and sip nights. A glass of wine turns into a conversation about color, memory and home. Every exhibition, workshop and gathering adds to a creative culture that makes Daytona Beach a richer place to live.
Art belongs to everyone, and our doors are always open.
