Sometimes it's not just the framing! The word "Gallery"…read moredescribes a place for exhibiting and selling art but really it's so much more. For me it's the experience - the time spent looking, studying, and simply browsing a collection is worth gold to me. Chemers Gallery in Tustin is that place that offers that whole experience. Every time I go in there, which I admit isn't near often enough but probably more than some, I delight in "finds". I have a fairly decent collection of artwork and it's not confined to paintings. I've ceramics, sculptures, glasswork, pottery, photographs, and a few weird pieces of found object works as well. Quite a few of those pieces have come from this jewel of a gallery so close to home. The owner Karen, and her friendly staff have always allowed me the luxury to simply roam. I have to walk through numerous times to take everything in. I get distracted by one or two pieces and then turn around and find something else completely unexpected. And, it becomes mine. I love this place!! I am a retired healthcare designer and Chemers was the art consultant on a few of our firms healthcare projects. What I enjoyed was the chosen works were always different from the predictable works too often seen in healthcare spaces and, they always complimented the concepts of our interiors. I also love the shows and exhibitions they often host here. Often soliciting works from local artists, craftspeople, and even foodies, these "pop-up" shows are always good for gifts, wearables, and sometimes taste-ables! And if I'm lucky, I often walk away with a new piece! I always look forward to stopping in on these shows and could spend an hour or more perusing. Do yourself a favor and visit this gallery - oh, and of course, don't forget, they also do excellent framing!!

That isn't an online art commission. It's social‑media overuse turning into attention‑seeking…read morebehavior and using online pressure to secure space in galleries. I can't lie! too much time online can fuel entitlement, blame‑shifting, and distorted narratives, and that pattern showed up here. Two associates who've known Dana Do since high school reported ongoing hostile behavior at CSULB, including mockery of peers' artwork, age‑based remarks, and misleading stories shared with professors. At the Kleefeld Museum, the same human‑behavior patterns appeared. Dana relied heavily on open social‑media commissions, narrative‑shaping, and online monitoring to maintain visibility. Her painting showed color theory and value issues, yet she made elitist comments about who "belongs" in the university. Calling older students "bullies" and "unprofessional" while engaging in exclusionary behavior herself is contradictory. the issue is the interpersonal behavior, not age. The mix of technical inconsistencies in the artwork and the surrounding conduct created enough discomfort that we left. Signs of Drawing and Painting department favoritism only reinforced a dismissive atmosphere. As a museum experience, it felt psychologically unsafe and unsupportive of developing artists. Not recommended!
