There is difference between art gallery and arts and crafts shows for me. You can see wonderful…read morecreative work at both. What is the difference, you might ask. I love wandering into art galleries where the work is well lighted and well displayed. This gallery certainly fulfilled that difference. There was a nice diversity of work, it was well displayed and the people working here were charming. Although I like to look, I seldom want to buy anything. I was really temped by two pieces in this gallery. A pretty watercolor and a wonderful piece of potter for an Ikebana arrangement really appealed to me. They were really not too expensive for one of a kind pieces of art. Common sense prevailed, I have no room for anything new, and I left. I do have about 5 weeks before they put of the next show in case I change my mind. The other difference, at art or craft show you can talk to the artist. I like to support artist so I go to both galleries and shows and every now and then I see something I just have to bring home.

And guess what that consisted of?: Someone's Spotify barely audible in the background. Completely misleading. Not sure what the point of the show was : there was no overarching show description anywhere , mostly B side prints and a few prints that weren't abstract at all thrown in.

Review #800 This…read moreFestival was packed!! The Lafayette Art & Wine Festival definitely delivers the goods!! The best way to attend this festival is by taking BART, because the festival is just a few blocks down the hill. You can walk or take the free shuttle. If you do drive, you can also park at the BART parking lot for free!! But once in the festival, lots to see, eat, and do!! I counted at least 4 stages with live music, one even had a stage for dancing. It was super crowded, so it took a while to get around. The weather was perfect, lots of booths everywhere. I'm not a wine drinker, but there was plenty of wine to drink and art to ponder. Just a real good time!! This was my first time attending this Festival, definitely glad that I went, good times!!

Initially, we purchased a painting of the local area for our home and just love it. Then, we commissioned her to paint a special place that lives in our hearts. And, wow, did she exceed our expectations! She will continue to be someone whose art we'll collect over time. Finally, she's focused on making her clients happy and does so in a very humble, passionate and detailed way. I highly recommend her work, which is a true gift to art lovers.
