“Hidden Gem! Pardon the pun. Extremely friendly staff, amazing collection of rare minerals, and the finest organization of carved jade I've seen in my entire life.
Although housed in a small building, budget at least an hour if you value fine details and like to take photos.”
“Thank you Francis! My daughter and I loved our painting class. Francis is a relaxed, patient guide. Giving just the right amount of instruction to help you grow while being yourself. Loved it!”
“We had a small gathering here at the gallery for an event unrelated to the usual art happenings in the gallery. This is space that serves for community and creativity. The exhibitions are vibrant. The gallery staff and art itself engage the patrons at every event.”
“I have taken Sandy Dawson’s (Sam) art classes for adults for a few years and participated in several workshops.Sam is a wonderful teacher and has worked with all ages, from preschool through adult. She naturally cultivates a warm, supportive learning environment. The students who have specific interests build upon their skills and learn new techniques as they improve. Other students experiment with different media. They begin to develop their strengths and preferences. No one is ever discouraged from trying something “new.”Sam’s comments are never criticisms. They are suggestions, instructional tools and explorations of strategies meant to inspire.”
“I found a great rug for my son's apartment and some very cool earrings. I love browsing her store. Her sense of style is beautiful and uncomplicated. Love it.”
“The team at Osio-Brown Editions makes awesome digital images of my artwork for reproductions and merch on my website. I love the 8 x10 proof prints that you get with each artwork that is photographed and the care and handling of my originals. The first time I used their services was about 10 years ago and they were awesome back then. I recently used them to photograph more art and get a few giclee prints for my family. The finished qualities of the prints and the digital image files were stunning. Adam and his crew know exactly what us picky artists require and expect of the finished product and services that we purchase with our hard earned money. You can check out my webpage to see the proof of their digital image professionalism.

“For our first experience with costuming framing, we can’t be happier with how our pieces turned out. Angela was a pleasure to work with and helped us find a wood that pairs perfectly with our decor. We’re looking forward to coming back for future projects!”
“The Cleave Carney Museum of Art is an amazing art museum that has the ability to bring in world famous special art exhibits. I am impressed every time I visit this art museum.”
“Went there for a photoshoot meetup. Got to meet Sebastian, who is the owner of this lovely art gallery. The art is also great, and some of it even comes locally!”
“I was gifted a foiling stained glass class at Nathalie Studio and had such a great time! The class shared all the fundamentals, tips and tricks of the trade, and hands on experience. I was able to take my completed piece home after our 3 sessions. Plus getting to see some incredible artwork in their gallery was great. Will be looking at other classes in the future!”
