Spent a nice morning with Jim and Cheri. The tour of the studios was very interesting and its fascinating how his pieces are created. Huge inventory of crystals and stones waiting to be turned into sculpture. Everything from small desk pieces to giant yard art. Call before you go.

Exquisite studio! Dylan is incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell him what interests you & he will effortlessly show you what matches up with their current inventory or show you shipping options if they don't have them currently in stock. I highly recommend this place for all of your high-end lighting needs!

I've collaborated with Jim on a handful of projects and I look forward to seeing what he's working on every time I go there. He's a top notch artist, craftsman and guy!

My wife and I were visiting her wretched mother out here in cow country when I decided to nav here for some R&R. The place is NOT where the map points too, I ended up twice as deep in cowfarm country than I ever wanted to be... not amused.

Today I entered the gallery. Strolled back and forth twice and the owner asked, "May I help you?" I answered, "Do you show abstract art?" "Not right now." "Do you ever show abstract art?" "Yes, we do." "How do I go about submissions?" Note: for an artist this is an important question, at least the kind of the artist that wants to submit work. The prejudice occurs because some artists are poor if not most. I asked her very directly and sincerely, 'what about submissions?' She answered something startling, as she came behind the desk, after helping customers, "Probably not, because of the 'roube'." (had to do some research) "I'm sorry," I had responded. "Thank you very much. I have to go." "What?" I had repeated. "Thank you very much. I have to go." "Because of the 'roube'?" "Yes, please go." She had been helping customers and had asked me, "Can I help you?" Most artists are treated unfairly so I had answered her and not been given a response. She seemed angry that I was there and had come protectively behind her desk as if to protect her self from me. I was dressed nicely or at least, in that sense, with long white pants and a button-up shirt. I was frustrated and wanted elucidation. "Because of the roube," I had repeated as if in question. "That is rude, what do you mean?" She had presented me a submission form and had returned to the people she was helping. My work is high level and I can show anywhere and make money for anyone. That she chose to discriminate was disconcerting. Her answer following was misleading: "I was trying to help customers and I was trying to make a sale and you interrupted that." Considering that I bring art to the public to sell and considering that I have attempted many times to sell art in galleries many times previous I find this extreme prejudice. Because prejudice so to speak is sublte one must investigate the nuances of that prejudice as in the case of the Vilona gallery. This woman that is an artist herself (and I know that because I have asked her a half year ago) is prejudiced because she refuses to admit from the comfort of her money that she is an artist like I am and that to just down someone because they are an artist is prejudiced and is typical behavior of most galleries. So how should I respond? I walked out and ignored her since as a person that has much work to offer was treated as an inferior just because I was an artist. p.s. 'artist' the term is loose and means 'somone that has something to do with art', at leat in my language. Or so I had thought until I had entered the gallery. 'Artist' is often known as someone that paints. On the wall the gallery was covered in paintings. I am a painter and wanted to show those works. To be refused is one thing; to be refused because of general prejudice is another.

I'm not sure what word describes this place better; gallery or museum! The artwork is truly amazing and the staff was an absolute pleasure to work with. (Much warmer and friendly than your typical "gallery" atmosphere.)

Having visited galleries in Kauai, California, Colorado, and New Mexico, my wife and I found Vilona to be one of the best we have ever been in for contemporary works.

The Vilona Gallery is absolutely fabulous! The artwork is so beautiful! I love how they feature local art as well. The gallery staff is so friendly and welcoming. They are very knowledgable of the artwork that is featured throughout the gallery. I am an interior designer, so I have bought a few pieces of art from the Vilona Gallery, and I will definitely be returning in the future! Great location too! Two thumbs up!!
