“Emmeline’s art soothes the soul and creates a visual escape that is so often needed. Her wide range of sizes, from tiny miniatures to sweeping, bold canvasses, as well as stationery, books and calendars, allows for the perfect gift or statement in your own home or office. She is mesmerizing and an absolute joy to do business with. Additionally, her role as a life coach/advisor has had a positive impact on a multitude of people across the globe. She has guided me, while I live in Missouri and she in California, through personal transformation with wisdom and kindness, while being forthright with exactly what the next step should be. She is a treasure.”

“I love this place! Peaceful, beautiful grounds,, and supportive no pressure classes. These classes have helped me loosen up, learn new things, meet wonderful people, and develop my creative side. I highly recommend O'Hanlon!!”
“4/9/24 This is a delightful shop operated by Bonnie and resident jeweler, Jeffrey. I appreciate Jeffrey's jewelry designs for men and women and that there are many pieces and price points to choose from. My favorite go to was Gallery of Jewels on 24th Street but it closed a year or two ago. I am glad to have a new, wonderful place to find unique jewelry (and more) created by local artists!”
“The first time I visited the gallery was back in 2016, during a trip to California. I fell in love with Scott Hanson's work (who I was lucky enough to meet in person), especially his bronze sculptures. The gallery staff was delightful and very accommodating. Later on my trip, I spotted a sculpture of the artist on display at Stanford University. Recently, while again in California, I decided to buy one of Hanson's art pieces that I was long desiring. The gallery provided all the support to get everything ready to ship the sculpture internationally (Thank you, Sherry!). The gallery is a must-go place if you are in the area.”
“My experience with this seller was OUTSTANDING in all regards: product quality, timeliness, and especially communication. My wife purchased a framed mountain bike destination map from them (as an Xmas gift for me) and it is very well designed - and looks TOTALLY COOL! I will be able to use the included pins to mark off destinations as completed. I saw a few maps online that allow you to check off destinations, but none that were specific to mountain biking besides this one. Also, there was a small issue with the order and they worked immediately to get it corrected. VERY happy with the end result and with this seller. Would highly recommend.”
“This studio is hidden gem in Novato. Roz was care of my order quickly and efficiently I couldn’t ask for more. Jay is super friendly and super accommodating. If you have 35 MM slides they can print them for you. Also, they do amazing retouching check them out for your next film or art project. Painters can bring in their paintings and they will photograph them and print them.”
“A treasure spot in San Rafael an amazing old mansion in great shape where you can enjoy art, gardens, look inside and rent a venue for a special occasion, wedding, anniversary, etc.”
“Art Works Downtown in San Rafael is a must-visit for art enthusiasts. Located in a stunning, former opera house with a maze-like layout, it offers a unique setting to explore, making the venue itself a work of art. But what truly sets it apart is the community of artists. They are so kind and inviting, and openly share their passion for their craft. You'll find a diverse range of artistic styles represented here, making it an enriching experience for any art lover.”

“This was my second visit to Venezia and interacting with Barak and his staff. I returned after five years, as I was truly impressed with my first visit and purchase of a jade dragon during 2018. I live on the east coast so visiting Venezia in San Francisco is a destination place. I am always amazed by my experience in the galleries and overwhelmed with the quality and quantity of all of their art pieces. Barak has been blessed with a family legacy and he has chosen to bless me as well with his flexibility and generosity, seldom seen with business owners. He has made it possible for me to own art and furniture I could not have imagined. I feel we share a bond and wish him ongoing success with his business endeavors and his personal life. It may be his gift for sharing the feeling of being kindred spirits.”
“Came here on a whim...we were visiting from Hawaii. We were staying in downtown SF at the Palace Hotel and walked to the Ferry building. While there, we saw the ferry and said to each other, "eh, let's go take a trip to Sausalito!" We found our way to Scrimshaw Gallery, which was a short walk from the port, just off the main strip. Good looking woodworks from local artisans. Not sure why all the reviews of the grumpy dude with the mustache, but Mike was pleasant and helpful. He was quiet at first, I'm sure just exhausted from the many looky-loos filtering through the shop. Mike was more than happy to share the history of the pieces in the store. There were tons of bowls and great looking, well-made wooden boxes with handsome inlays. In particular there was a bowl, small, really nice markings and designs from the natural wood, that I was interested in. Mike explained the history of it, how it was made and how the unusual naturally burnt rim of the bowl came to be. I was sold! One big problem I had was hand carrying it home...but Mike offered to ship it...for FREE! Of course, I was weary about that because I wasn't sure if it would be intact when I received it...and I really loved this one of a kind piece. After all, it was hand turned from a local artisan who has since retired! But I trusted Mike and agreed to having it shipped (and THANKED him for doing it complimentarily!). I received it in the mail yesterday...fully bubble wrapped in a box...in PERFECT condition! Much Mahalo, Mike!”
“MVPS is a wonderful studio. I started classes there two years ago and haven't stopped. The studio is clean, the kilns constantly firing, there are lots of community tools to try, and both rotating and returning glazes. Every instructor is a little different and all are top notch. The best part is the community of returning students, members, and staff. I learn so much from them and have made great friends. There's always someone to answer questions. I only wish there were more open studio hours! (PS. The sister studio in San Rafael, Amphora Ceramic Studio, is pretty great too)”

“I love Routes Gallery! Richard and his team are incredible! I ordered a beautiful Buddha statue, it arrived in a secure package ready to grace my flower garden.”
“My luck could not have been better than the day I received a beautiful lithograph from Michael Mintzer, and then chose Bob on Michael's recommendation. Bob's experience as an artist was obvious as he easily provided attractive and reasonable framing options. He then blew me away by fast-tracking the job and having it ready for me before I had to leave town for a month.”

“Over 140 artist studios. When they have open studios or any events well worth your time to go. I took an excellent workshop with Bobby Gignilliat there last week.”
“Gaby is a wonderful human being, a great teacher for children and adults, too. If you were an artist as a kid and haven’t expressed that side of yourself in a while and would like to, Gaby can help guide you in rediscovering your creativity!”
“Please note that the brick and mortar location is no longer a gallery. The owner has moved the gallery contents to his apartment up the street, which can be viewed by appointment. I was lucky enough to call and catch him while he was in to view his amazing collection. I was thoroughly impressed by his array of strange objects and curios. I do wish that he would open a better website (most of the photos on the current website are inoperable) - something on Instagram, Chairish, or 1st Dibs would really expand his clientele and make it more accessible. *UPDATE: The website works better on a computer browser than on a cell phone!*”
“Jim is an amazing guy and he does absolutely stellar work. He is a total pro and you can rest assured that your piece will be handled with the utmost care, fit for display in a museum. He has a great eye and great taste for the perfect frame. I love hearing all of the wonderful stories from his life, and seeing the interesting pieces that happen to be in the shop whenever I visit. It's a long drive from where I live, but it is always worth it! His apprentice Quinn clearly has the passion and talent for the work, and I am excited to see what the future holds for him. I am so glad that Zoltron recommended this shop to me many years ago, I have taken every piece here since. I look forward to a lifetime of enjoyment appreciating the art that adorns my walls, so carefully preserved by Jim and his shop.”
“A must see for Italians and those that love all things from Italy. Starting my Zacconi Milano based lever espresso machine business and I had to get some espresso cups. They are perfecto”

They have books on every type of religion known to man As well as carry things like smudge sticks incense, music just an all-around wonderful beautiful vibe in this place.”
“Awesome gallery, cool to see all the variety of types of projects that Autodesk software is utilized in. The building and gallery itself are beautifully decorated, and the folks managing and providing tours on the gallery floor are accommodating and friendly. I also appreciate how knowledgeable the staff are here to talk a bit about what is on display.”
“Todd is not only the consummate professional, deeply skilled and talented at his craft, and quick to boot, he’s also just delightful and a super interesting, creative person! I look forward to working with him again!”
