Art Galleries in San Anselmo, CA

“A Gem and Sacred Space ?

Routes Gallery has become one of my absolute favorite places—not just to shop, but to be inspired. Nearly every room in my world is touched by the beauty I've found there: my Skin Care Spa is filled with serene Buddha statues, shimmering geodes, and soulful objects that have helped create a sanctuary-like atmosphere for my clients. It's more than decor—it’s energy. A feeling of peace, presence, and reverence that people feel the moment they walk through the door.

My home and garden are equally graced by their treasures: a majestic Balinese water goddess by the fountain, a large Buddha watching over my deck, and a meditation room filled with meaningful, handpicked items—all from Routes Gallery.

What truly makes this place extraordinary is the owner, Richard Routher. Richard is a gem —kind, thoughtful, full of creative ideas, He always goes above and beyond, and it shows in every interaction that I have had.

Whether you're looking to infuse your space with sacred beauty or searching for that perfect meaningful gift, Routes Gallery is a place of wonder and heart. I’m forever grateful I found it.

“How can I summarize my feelings about Art Abloom in just a few sentences?? I am deeply grateful for Gabey and what she offers. My son is 5 and has been going in weekly since he was 4. Whatever idea the child has, she will help them execute. We all know how frustrated kids get when doing crafts with their own parents. Send them to Art Abloom! Gabey is truly a professional when it comes to children. She is encouraging and inspiring without patronizing. She magically pushes them towards independence, even if they hit that point of “I can’t do this”, she gets them moving forward. Building confidence! I also think what her students feel and appreciate is that she he has created a place for total creative freedom. At home it’s a lot of “no” you can’t use the glue gun, no you can’t use glitter, no no no. Some examples of projects he’s come home with: a garage for his hot wheels, a mosaic mirror, a portrait of his favorite Pokemon, a homemade leather wallet with little faux credit cards, a necklace for mom. He even used the ceramic wheel and made himself a little “maple syrup dipping bowl” which he’s proud to use at home! The options are endless in her studio! Kids love it.

I always do the drop-in weekly so I’m not committed to any packages. My son has become bonded with Gabey and it’s really sweet. I love when he spends time there. Plus, I get a break! Win/win.”

“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.”
