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. Then I happened to walk by Zantman and was was transported to that spot that art lovers have described but which I've never experienced till then. 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.

I have been a "slow starter" into the world of art, and over the past 20years, have developed an admiration, and understanding of the art world. Patricia Terwilliger, has been a both positive and guiding professional, to help me with my choices. She has gone above and beyond the normal to provide service, advice,knowledge without the pressure of you have to buy attitude. Several times I have been unsure of a purchase, and she has either advised me not to purchase,or in some cases to project a little confidence in my selection. Occasionally I will ask for a frame change, this is done, cheerfully with a good selection provided. Her art is diversified and beautiful for all tastes......Both she and her gallery are a 10 read more

After we got home we identified a few other pieces on the website we liked even more. I called Liliana, and she arranged to have the three pieces (one had to be shipped quickly from the Aspen gallery) plus the original piece I'd inquired about brought to my house at a day and time convenient to me.

Two stories to be specific so a lot of space to show many types of art. I spoke with Teresa and she was very knowledgeable of the artists she represents and what seems to be trending. She wasn't the kind of pushy sales person sometimes one encounters at galleries there. She was a joy to speak with. I'd say my favorite artist exhibited there was Eric Bodtker. Eric's interpretations of local scenes using vibrant colors was refreshing when compared to many others throughout the town. His paintings made me feel..."happy" I'd say as the best way to describe it. Gallery Elite has so many very beautiful paintings by artists from around the world.

Gallery owner Teresa was on hand to answer any questions, and she provided us with a very friendly greeting. While unfortunately I'm not quite of the pocketbook to purchase any of Elite's offerings, it is still a welcoming place to simply enjoy the art. The gallery reminded me of similar shops in Vegas, full of bright colors and friendly faces, with no air of snobbery or pressure at all. Check out my pictures for samples of some of the lovely art for sale, plus the gorgeous layout of the shop. A stop into Gallery Elite is like a breath of fresh air, a break from hectic Carmel sidewalks and touristy frustrations! I will always seek them out on return trips to Carmel, to absorb more beautiful creations.
