Roddy, the store employee, greeted me at the door. She was very personable and extremely helpful in answering all of my questions. Wanted to get a picture framed. She presented different price quotes to me. Had a picture frame that I earlier had purchased from Walgreens. After showing it to her, she inserted the picture into the frame and also installed the wire behind the frame so that I could hang it up on my wall. When I offered some money for her troubles, she said it wasn't necessary. No charges were applied. She made my day with her thoughtfulness and extreme kindness. This is a remarkable place that I highly recommend for all of your picture framing needs.

Capt. John Sheridan: I wish I had your faith in the universe. I just don't see it sometimes…read more Delenn: Then I will tell you a great secret, Captain. Perhaps the greatest of all time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station, and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are starstuff. We are the universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out. And as we have both learned, sometimes the universe requires a change of perspective. A Distant Star - Babylon 5 Sand. Molten glass comes from sand. I was fascinated by the flame. The woman in the window formed fine lines and curves from a blob of molten glass with fire. I speculated on what form the glass would take. A dolphin I think... It's nice seeing art being made. I remember when I was a kid seeing artists painting at the park, the beach, or the bay. At Seaworld I thrilled at seeing divers searching for pearls at the bottom of the sandy pool. Nowadays food is the only thing I get to watch being made... There are many beautiful things in this place. I brought home a glass dolphin created by the woman in the window. The dolphin was clear, cold, smooth, with sweeping curves in contrast to the Manzanita stand which was dark, warm, and held rich details. All the artworks were made by local artists. I was inspired walking about seeing the paintings and sculptures. Perhaps one day the images in my mind will manifest into something beautiful...

We stopped by during the Hale'iwa Art Walk that occurs on the last Saturday of the month. My niece,…read moreson, and I were welcomed warmly by a woman named Isabella who explained the history of the gallery and gave some information about the artwork being currently featured. I was so appreciative that she took the time to talk to us because I feel so often at galleries like families with small children are seen as inconveniences. It's unfortunate because art and creativity should be accessible to people of all ages! Anyway, we browsed the different pieces and I settled on a $20 print of a painting of an unconventionally beautiful Hawaiian woman holding a mango in her hands while standing beneath a mango tree. I would definitely encourage folks to check out this gallery with their diverse art work by local and international artists, accommodating staff, and cool laid-back vibe.

3/4/17 Well it's been a while since I started using Noelani…read morefir my framing and I can now tell you that I am delighted. She framed a Madge Tennant painting and it's beautiful. In addition, she arranged to have it "restored". It's great, I just dropped it off, she arranged with the restorer to have it picked up, worked on, and returned to her studio. She then matted and framed it and called me to pick it up. A few months later I took in two more prints that needed work. Both were Japanese calligraphys. They also had foxing due to moisture and humidity here in Hawaii. Again she took care of it all. She called the restorer, he pick them up, worked on them, then took them back to her gallery. Noelani matted and framed them. I can't be happier. Noelani takes the time to explain all the alternatives regarding the matting as well as the glass and works with you to make sure you get what you want within your budget

Built from the ruins of an old gas station, its classic car with waving mannequins, giant plastic horses and colorful flags make for an eye catching road side tourist gift shop however, I used to feel his work deserved a much more classier venu! However, because Patrick is a rodeo clown and cowboy and down home country grown local boy I realized that his gallery really embodies the essence of his message and his spirit. A must buy, is his matted print of honey girl, the famous sea turtle who was killed last year. For only $19.95, it is a nice tribute to the beloved ocean friend. The paint your horse birthday parties are also a must do. You can hire patrick to host a birthday party for your kids where he gets one of those big horses, paints in white then helps the kids paint it with a custom design he created ahead of time. It is a lot of fun!! The economy has been rough on the gallery, so please be sure to stop by and show your support. If you can't go there, go online, and buy a shirt or a print. Help see him through this crisis. He is one of the only people who supports all local artists and products and helps the community so much.

Duncan Dempster's "Small Cluster" Art Exhibit review…read more I love that moment when you're exploring one of your favorite places with someone & stumble upon a hole-in-the-wall gem together, it's almost as if you've discovered hidden treasure. This past weekend, I was in the Kaka'ako neighborhood & wanted to show my Mom some of the beautiful Pow Wow Hawaii murals & after viewing the explosive street art across Starbucks Kaka'ako, we found LIMB workshop. After all the time I've spent in Kaka'ako, I'm amazed, I only noticed this gorgeous furniture shop that also acts as an art gallery. I can't even begin to describe how much I appreciate anything created from wood; I'm easily mesmerized by beautiful wood products & find myself admiring the time & dedication someone takes to create works of art from nature. As soon as you enter LIMB, it feels like you're walking in a dream because this stunning space is filled with breathtaking photos, illustrations showcased in wooden shadow boxes, wood turnings + photo light fixtures created by University of Hawaii Professor Duncan Dempster. I wish I found out about LIMB when they opened, I would've be over the moon to attend the "Small Cluster" Opening Reception last month. Be sure to check out this attractive furniture shop located in the heart of Kaka'ako & I highly recommend viewing Duncan Dempster's "Small Cluster" Art Exhibit located in LIMB, I promise you won't disappointed. PS- LIMB is still in the process of finalizing their website but stay tuned because I guarantee you'll want to attend their upcoming art galleries.
