Once in awhile one or two pieces might catch my eye when I walk by, but really nothing I wanted to pursue or check out further.

For me, the art was moving, moody and drew me in to a story I hadn't yet told or heard. The gallery owner was welcoming and didn't make me feel like I was out of my league. Sadly, I don't have the art lover's budget, but if I did, this is where I'd spend it.

Friendly staff on the premises to help you and answer questions about the works of art. Very interesting how the sales person explained how some of the paintings were done.

Some of the paintings actually looked more like a real photograph than a painting. Such amazing talent. I really love this gallery.

The last print was to be picked up in person, instead they shipped and did not notify me. It was stolen. The replacement print was delivered damaged. Julia Christopher brought a police officer to my home, claiming insurance fraud. It was not, and the gallery refunded my payment. Julia, while in my home, was incredibly rude, making absurd accusations all of which were refuted by the police officer (also there in person). I communicated my experience with Carol, then the owner, who apologized and supported the immediate refund. I would never shop at this gallery again, nor would I recommend it to any photography lover. This morning as I was looking at one of the prints I purchased from them I was reminded of this terrible experience and the treatment from Julia and felt compelled to write a review- especially when I saw that Julia now the owner.
