“Love this wonderful gallery and shop in West Chester! It's a lovely space and a great place to find jewelry, art, and little treasures that you won't find anywhere else.”
“I was looking via Google for something specific and came across Diving Cat’s webpage in Phoenixville, PA.
They had the handmade art jewelry I was looking for.
I called.
Noelle was over and above helpful, scouring the store for my requested items.
Calling me back when she found what I was asking for. Making ALL of the extra effort - an increasing rarity in this day and age!
She took my details over the phone, followed up with me via text, and communicated with the Business Manager, John, to get the order shipped out to me the very next day.
Package arrived within days, everything packaged securely and beautifully.
Fantastic “extra mile” service and communication from Noelle & John - I HIGHLY recommend Diving Cat - even if you’re not in the Philadelphia-metro area.”
“David created two wonderful paintings for me as a gift for my now fiance. She had lived in an apartment in town for about 8 years and when she moved in with me, it was tough for her to let go of that apt.
David painted two photos she had. One of the exterior of her apartment and one of the view from her rooftop.
David also referred me to someone for the most perfect frame and he helped me with the surprise unveiling in his gallery. She cried upon receipt and the paintings now hang in our living room.
Aside from his beautiful artwork, his personality is genuine and kind. We loosely stay in touch to this day.
Would highly recommend you check out his gallery. He has some REALLY stunning pieces.”
“I have had the pleasure of taking long-term glassblowing lessons from Justin since August of 2022. We work together about 4 months out of the year for 4 hours a day, 5 days a week.
He has taught me everything I know about glassblowing, from safety procedures to techniques to the chemistry of glass.
Justin really inspires me to improve as an artist and share my talents with the world. He is always so supportive and encouraging of my work.
From all the time I have spent taking lessons from Justin, I have learned not just how talented and skilled he is as an artist, but I have also gotten to know him as a person. He is truly a great teacher and an intelligent, creative, and hard-working person.
I highly recommend taking classes with him!”
“I am a working artist with a studio in downtown West Chester, PA and have used Visual Expansion on numerous occasions to frame paintings. They are wonderful people who go above and beyond with their service, professionalism, product craftmanship, and friendliness. I recently had a rush commission and they knocked it out of the park with 2 gorgeous, gold, museum- style frames. Plus their shop offers lots of affordable, local art treasures to remember your visit to West Chester. Definitely stop in when you are in town!”
“The gallery should stay open into the evening. They should announce when the gallery will be closing so people can have time to round up the art they want to buy. And they shouldn't schedule a special function so close to an open gallery; I was spoken to rudely be one of the organizers. Other than that, a pleasant to experience.”
