We walked into this gallery while wandering around Pismo Beach just to look at the galleries. My…read morewife was overcome with emotion upon seeing the "Walk of Faith" limited edition print that was displayed. We left after touring the gallery with the owner, Esther. She is extremely knowledgeable about Thomas Kinkade art and shared a lot of personal information about him that came from her, and her husband's, personal relationship with the artist prior to his death. We could not get that picture out of our minds. So, after much discussion, we went back and purchased the 24" x 36" print with the frame. The print is still there as we elected to wait until an artist "textured", or highlighted it to look more like an original painting. Normally a $300 fee is charged for that, but Esther informed us that they had an artist coming in November who would do it free, with us in attendance, so we elected to wait until then to pick up our print. Esther was very helpful and is a very charming lady, who gave us hugs when we finally left. I would highly recommend this gallery to anyone, whether they are fans of Thomas Kinkade or have never heard of him. They have some of the most beautiful artwork you can imagine.

Unlike other things of dubious distinction, his work is not an acquired taste - you either love it or don't, and I don't. I find it too reminiscent of the paint-by-number kits popular during my childhood to warrant much admiration. In deference to those whose home decor includes multiple samples of his output, I'll award this three stars as an ideal place for you to indulge your questionable taste.

We came upon this charming Artisan Art Studio on our way to the High Street Market and Deli…read more It's right next door, a perfect way to peruse local artwork while waiting for your sandos. Anita Marie Schwebel is one of the original artists who founded this shop during the pandemic, with 3 other artists, Jade Coast, Carol Manuputy, and John Robson. Anita Marie was minding the shop today. She was delightfully warm and charming. Anita says that many other local artisans have their jewelry, artwork, and beautiful hand made gift items here on display. The items are priced in line with their quality and value. There is quite an array of jewelry and gifts made of stones, and semi-precious stones, perfect thoughtful gifts for those with distinctive taste and appreciation for local artists. Check this place out, the next time you are in Los Osos, especially if you are waiting for your food at the High Street Market and Deli right next door.

The New Times ran a feature showing some of the work on exhibit, so we drove out to the coast for the day and sauntered in. The gallery is refurbished since days of old, and features a nice exhibit space on the first floor, while a second large art gallery is somewhat hidden up a set of stairs. The bird drawings paintings, and prints were uniquely evocative of our central coast area and the works also drew upon the beautiful surrounding environment. Since January and February are primo "Birders" months, and Morro Bay now has an ongoing Birders Festival each year, this was a perfect match. We enjoyed the display and the ceramics and jewelry that the upstairs had. We will return to more shows in this gallery.

We were delighted to find her small new shop tucked away beside the new Nautical Bean Coffee shop in Morro Bay.

We visited with a very personable Paula and looked at her beautiful glass, including vase,s bowls, a mirror, and a wonderful hand blown lamp . It's exciting to see this kind of beautiful work on the Central Coast and inspirational for all the bead crafters out there.

Surprisingly, there was just one cheerful woman behind the counter (Paula Radke) who greeted us and immediately shared that she was both the owner and the artist.

There were also picture frames with glass pieces and other small pieces that decorated her shop. What was most impressive was the way she so quickly shared her experience of moving from one location to another and how fortunate she was to have this new shop in Morrow Bay. The four of us enjoyed her stories as much as we enjoyed her art.
