“We’ve been gallery hopping in Carmel plenty of times- this place is our favorite. It has two huge floors of paintings to wonder through and a great rotating selection. Also the owner is an absolutely wonderful human being.”
“Patrick is amazing. We had a nice exploration in the gallery. Lots of remarkable early California artists. Come in , very covid safe - even a hand sanitizer upfront. Take a minute!”
“I got to see this beautiful gallery for the first time during the Carmel Photowalk. Later, I ended up winning an amazing book they put in for the raffle... thank you Weston Gallery! 🖼”
“Very impressive gallery. What makes it even more special, are Taylor and Andy. Both were instrumental in helping us purchase “Tranquility”. Their knowledge of Aaron’s work, helped us choose the right format for the piece.
Please, go see the gallery, and see Aaron’s work. And, talk to Taylor. He’s the best!”
“I had a pleasant visit to this small gallery at the Sunset Center for the Casanave exhibit. No crowds, so I was left to browse at my own pace. Good lighting and presentation of photographs.”
“I am originally from Northern California and now unfortunately I live nowhere near the ocean in Denver Colorado. I was delighted to find a beautiful ring with the help of Adriana that had California redwood in it. It is so beautiful. Two years or earlier on a vacation in Monterey I purchased a redwood bracelet from Tamara G. Both times I brought my puppy with me and the staff was so delightful. Honestly if you're going to buy something in Monterey definitely you have to hit the store. It is worth it. It's nice to know that I have a little bit of my home state all the time. Love my ring & bracelet:”
“Wonderful and whimsical spot!
Loved walking through here and taking some nice photos. Was shown great care and kindness from the knowledgable and incredibly friendly staff. Very peaceful and healing atmosphere. Would absolutely come back here again some time. :)”
“I had the best experience here! I ended up buying an original photograph and I’m so excited about it. Photography West is one of the last real physical print shops in the US which already makes it so special. Everyone was super friendly and gave off small town vibes, and you can tell they take so much pride in their work.
They gave me a letter of authenticity and shipped the piece straight to my home in a crate with signature delivery which was amazing. Their collection has some truly rare pieces, so if you’re looking for something one of a kind this is the place to go!
As a photographer myself I really love the care and passion they put into everything. Plus one of my close friends knows them and vouched for their authenticity which made me feel even better. I came all the way from DC and this honestly ended up being one of the highlights of my trip!”

“This gallery is exceptional and features some truly unique pieces of art. I’ve been to many galleries across the US, Canada, and the UK and this one gallery truly stood out to me with the pieces they showcase.
The director was extremely knowledgeable, happy, and excited to talk about the artists she features. She was very knowledgeable about the process the artists’ use to create the paintings showcased. She herself is a customer of a few of these artists, giving her the ability to speak on how the pieces personally affect her and the guests she invites into her home.
What I really appreciated about the director was how protective she is about her artists’ work. She does not allow any photography in the gallery and keeps a careful eye on the works displayed so that artists aren’t unfairly copied.
Her knowledge of and fierce devotion to the artists in this gallery really made an impression on me and puts this gallery as a top favorite. I would return and purchase works of art from this gallery.”
“This gallery offers a sweet selection of Monterey County local pieces as well as other home friendly Quality art - I love stopping by frequently to see what the gallery owner,Nancy Dodds, has as current offerings - :))”
