My mom and I found this amazing gallery today while walking the downtown parade and festival. Such…read morea hidden gem of a gallery. Lisa's shop has been open over a year and I realize now why we had never seen it (we never turn left down main street at this intersection) lol. Our mistake clearly! Don't be like us and definitely check out this gallery. The artwork is simply breathtaking. I am not a coastal beachy girl by any means but the artwork here was beyond stunning. Totally stopped us in our tracks. My mom was actually able to find a beach scene for her house and she fell in love with one piece and brought it home. Lisa's work is amazing. I have two pieces on my mind from here after stopping in.... Her desert landscapes are my personal favorite and remind me of the beauty of the desert. Also love her butterfly pieces. This artwork is fresh and a clean aesthetic, truly could look great in any space. Lisa was working the gallery and she couldn't have been lovelier. Such a sweet soul and beyond talented, definitely the kind of local business and artist that I would want to support. Walked away with a great piece and honestly may be back soon because a couple of her works are imprinted on my mind now....time to find some wall space :)

Surrendered Echoes is a calm, serene space filled up with nice paintings, mostly inspired by local landscapes, scenery, by the proximity of the ocean. If you are looking for some art for your place, check out this gallery, see if the style fits your taste! The day we stopped by, the artist was working outside the gallery, so that was a nice touch, great to see! Enjoyable visit here, great addition to Main st. Ventura!

We visited the gallery to experience the exhibit on display: Nature 101, and then walked around watching the artists create. We were drawn to one specific area, which happened to comprise some of the work of the inimitable G. Ramon Byrne. We spoke with him for some time and viewed, in awe, the art that he has created over the years. What talent, and beauty! I would love to return with my husband after we purchase our first home, in order to pick some pieces that would be lovely either in our home (i.e. pieces for the kitchen!) or outside in the garden/walking area that we both dreams of. What an interesting space right here near the heart of Ventura. Be sure to stop by when you can!

I hardly venture out to the St. Johns Hospital area because it is seriously too annoying (if you…read moredon't like getting stuck in traffic for 10 hours). I was invited to attend an event at the Artist Cantine to meet some organizations. So I went, I went with my coworker! The invitation said it was going to be in an art gallery, so that was very interesting. I love going to art galleries, so I was really OK with going to to this event (No offense to other events). OK so the art gallery is located in a strip mall call the Palms ( former Oxnard Outlets). The only times I've ventured out to this center is for my US citizen fingerprints, class for Cal Lutheran, and to buy furniture, however it's very easy to just zoom pass this shopping center because of locatioin wise (you can't get more awkward than tha). OK so I finally found the gallery, the exterior looked really cool, clean, open, relaxed, etc. People who were hosting the event were there, they had wine, hummus, crackers, cheese, and other H'orderves . When I arrived I was like wow! I knew I made a good choice deciding to come, the walls were full of art, interesting art. Art that I actually saw my self in. The owner of the art Gallery gave a speech about his gallery and why he opened it. It looks like he loves art, has passion for it, and therefore he worked hard to open the gallery. He also explained of the events that they are going to start hosting next year "Bohemian Nights." which are going to be cultural events i.e dancing, singing etc. Apparently the owner also invites the artist who post the art, so they can come and talk to the people who are interested. So I'll be keeping up with their website ,to see when artist are coming and what art I can snatch (buy). Which artist are here? Wow I was surprise to see some art from artist that are pretty known, i.e. Lalo Garcia. The owner said that he has art in the Los Angeles Cathedral, Our Lady Of Our Lady of Angels. Very surprise to hear that, it's not very common where you stumble upon art galleries in Oxnard (very rare) so this was a good fresh air! So why 4 stars. I don't like the location, it's really hidden, in a shopping mall that (if it was up to me, I would avoid). But I am going to try to make the effort to try and come here. However, all in all, a great find!

A Truly Exceptional Family-Owned Framing Shop…read more Gonzalez Framing is one of those rare family-owned businesses where you walk in as a customer and walk out feeling like part of their family. From the moment we arrived, they took the time to walk us through every option, explain the details, and make sure we felt confident in every decision. We brought in a very old, delicate map that we were honestly nervous to hand over to anyone. They immediately put us at ease. Their knowledge, equipment, and genuine care made it clear the map was in the right hands. It had some damage, and they went above and beyond, color matching and restoring it so beautifully that once it was framed, you'd never know anything had been wrong. We also had several older, sentimental paintings framed, and they treated each piece with the same level of respect and attention. The results were stunning. They remembered us, remembered our pieces, and made the whole experience feel personal. Everything was finished on time, the craftsmanship was outstanding, and the care they put into their work is something we'll treasure for the rest of our lives. I would highly recommend Gonzalez Framing to anyone who wants their art handled with skill, heart, and true professionalism.
