Wow, what a unique and magical gallery! Bubble Street Gallery - and the art within - is so whimsical and magical. Usually I can cruise through galleries as it's not all my style, but even with this being one artist and style, I had to look closely at each one. We didn't walk out with any purchases as most was out of our price range, but we really enjoyed looking through - and it put the artist on my radar. I enjoyed that they had puzzles and other less expensive options as well. Highly recommend taking a look through if you're in Sausalito!

I came from Tacoma, WA, to see Daniel's new show! I am so glad I did! The place is beautiful, his work is stunning! His wife is so kind and lovely, and I really appreciated Elena, the art consultant for listening to me and helping me with my purchase of a new print! Would come again if I ever get the opportunity!

Haven't been to Sausalito for a while. What a gorgeous little town, right on the waterfront with a sweeping bay view of San Francisco. What I wasn't expecting was to find this neat little gallery tucked along the row of buildings that line the waterfront. If you haven't seen this gallery, you're missing the best venue in town. A real unique visual experience, made so accessible. It made the trip to Sausalito complete.

Usually when I stumble across an art gallery in my travels, I find either snobbery or just simply, bad art. Sometimes, however, I find something incredibly special, that moves me and speaks to my heart. My finding Bubble Street Gallery was somewhat serendipitous because I was hoping to find some magic out there, that would infuse my own quest for adventure and creativity. I found romance, nostalgia, eroticisms and fantasia all rapped into one in this incredibly unique display of art. If your inquisitive and wanting artistic adventure, I highly recommend you pay a visit to Daniel Merriam's gallery and you will be absorbed into his fantastic mindset.

My wife wanted, no she needed to visit the gallery. So to San Francisco we stopped by. She wanted to buy a piece of art, not an original, they are expensive, but i gave her a beautiful print instead. Happy wife. Also bought a book for her. Service was perfect, the lady took her time and showed us all the prints before we made our choice, Champagne was offered to us also.

Great art honestly. Very unique and the pieces seem to transmit a mood or emotion is the best way I could explain it. I actually started looking online about a purchase because I just refuse to walk in that store agin with that woman working there. Very insulting, she didn't even really allow me and my gf to browse. Seemed almost to be directing us to what she wanted us to buy while taking little digs at us while I struggled to find casual conversation. Left in a hurry. Side note she was arguing with 2 women who were on their way out as we were walked in lol. This lady must have dirt on the owner or be a relative or something because if the business was interested purely in sales, she'd have been out of there a long time ago.

Amazing art however owner was incredibly rude and arrogant to guests. I liked an art piece of hers, so as any passionate person would I took my phone out to snap a photo (not knowing or seeing anything wrong with it) and instead of addressing me directly and privately in an understanding manner, she publicly shamed me for not paying attention to her 2 inch sign at the back that says no photography. I apologized and felt so horrible, it was an honest mistake and I don’t go to galleries often. She then spoke rudely of me to other guests quite loudly while I was still in the building. Again, cool art, but the gallery agent simply isn’t worth it. My friend that I went with also mentioned she had a negative encounter with the same woman a few months prior. It’s a shame such a rude person is working at a gallery showcasing such beautiful art. She’s really costing the business.

This review is based on my experience today while browsing Daniel Merriam's new collection, Cloud Nine and Beyond online. The curator, Lauren, offered to do a FaceTime with me so I could see some of the works live. I live over 12 hours away so it's not possible for me to visit this amazing new collection. She was so sweet to work with and showed me these beautiful pieces. Dry Dock was my absolute favorite! The variety of themes and scale were so impressive. The colors are absolutely stunning! Daniel's work is some of the most exquisite art I've ever seen. I love it so much! So magical and intriguing! I'm very grateful for my personalized gallery tour via technology today! I've been to this gallery in person as well and find it very charming. If you are ever in Sausalito, I highly recommend a visit!

Love the imaginative and jewel-toned paintings of Daniel Merriam!I found this gem just before leaving Sausalito and couldn’t leave without at least purchasing an art book. The originals and prints are all very reasonably priced.I’m surprised by the low ratings and comments about the gallery curator. Lauren was nothing but gracious and helpful; we had a nice conversation about the artist’s process and art in general. Perhaps it was a different woman from before. Anyway, this is definitely worth a stop regardless. Even if you are on a budget there are some lovely gift items for sale.

The woman curating the shop was extremely rude

I went here and fell in love with the art. I was trying to decide between two pieces, but the woman curating the gallery was so offensive and rude we left. She kept grabbing my sweater and touching my person. She accosted me and told me if I was so willing to spend money on clothes and purses that I surely must have ruined my priorities somewhere down the line if I planned on leaving the gallery without art. I told her we would get her if we had any questions, we were trying to admire the art and make a very expensive decision. But she would not leave us alone, and then started berating me for my designer purse. "Are you going to put that in a frame on your wall? What are your morals if you're going to spend on that and not on art." She was overly aggressive, assertive, and off putting. I finally told her the purse was my late mothers, who's now passed away. And I would appreciate her backing off. We left. After reading the comments and other reviews for this gallery, it seems as though this has been an on going and expensive liability for the gallery. Shame, because I know it cost them a few thousand dollars today alone.

This was my first visit to the Gallery and the artist, Daniel Merriam, has a great imagination and his paintings are colorful, fanciful, and fun. The photo attached, is one I am considering purchasing.

Extremely arrogant and rude woman who worked here! She was not in the gallery when we came in and she ignored us when we greeted her and yelled at me for taking a mask that was on the table for guests to use. As i politely mentioned to her, i wanted to double mask for my safety and others but she continued being disrespectful so we left because it was embarrassing. What a shame since the art is beautiful but its hard to appreciate when someone so ill mannered is working there.... Never visiting again and would not recommend to anyone i know.
