I had found online with yelp's help that Laguna beach area has tons of art galleries and have great events including art walk. Taking the Laguna transit from my hotel, the bus stopped right before main beach (Laguna). And I crossed the street and right in front of me was this amazing gallery. (It was meant to be, my favorite gallery from my entire visit in Laguna) I was so impressed by all the artwork in this place. I was talking way to fast with the art consultant. Jamie (art consultant) was such a wonderful person to tell me more about the artwork. She truly is a knowledgable asset to this gallery. Jamie answered my questions, and told me more about the pieces I was interested in. The artists not only had amazing artwork but I really liked the fact that many were helping their local community in some way. It shows that this town has a great sense of being together and helping those in need. My favorite artist was Jon Seeman and his work was truly very unique. I loved the energy and construction material with a hint of science which was incorporated in his phenomenal pieces. I hope to buy at least one of his creations in the future. Thank you, Jamie for your help throughout my visit, I had a great time looking at all the artwork. ~

I have been an art 'hunter' for many years and find the fun for me is researching the artist who did the work. We were immediately greeted by Bridgette who was AWESOME. She was well versed in various artists, very customer service oriented, and passionate about her product. When I walked into the gallery, I immediately recognized the work of Jessica Osborne. Her bright colors and waves of gracefulness gave such a sense of serenity and calmness. I knew this was the painting I wanted to hang in my home. It is wonderful to see an art gallery celebrating the work of so many artists with their paintings, sculptures, and ideas. I highly recommend you take the time to visit the store and ask for Bridgette. She will provide the personal attention that will guide you through making an exceptional decision. I highly recommend the Laguna Gallery of Contemporary Art. PS...The painting was delivered and hung by the gallery, and it is every bit (if not more) beautiful in my home. I will return for more.

Christie is soft spoken, never in a hurry to rush you out and always takes the times to explain the process even thought I am sure she has repeated it 1,000 times over. You can tell Christie passion for the arts, just look for paint droplets in her clothes or shoes. What a more fitting location to open up her 2nd gallery as she was previously located in Half Moon Bay CA. Her art can also be seen at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Half Moon Bay. Her art pieces are simply amazing. You could spend several hours in her gallery taking it all in. Did you know she was a professional LPGA golfer? Keep your passion alive and share it with the world Christie!!!

This might explain why there are so many art galleries on every street corner and alleyway, since it is just as beautiful and picturesque as everyone says. My friend pointed out this art gallery as we walked along the Main Street on our way to the ocean, and when we went inside, we saw some of the most magnificent pieces of art hanging on the walls. I found it to be absolutely fantastic! We met the owner and he told us all of the art pieces were created by Ruth Mayer, aka Mama Mayer! Everything was so vivid and vibrant, we were all blown away. The amount of artwork and detail was incredible. A truly special experience!

The Hues Skelley Art Gallery is located right in the center of that tiny town, and has many artists paintings for sale; they are breathtakingly beautiful. If you own a home anywhere in California, this is a must see sort of place because you need to purchase an artpiece - or two! I took a couple of art oil painting classes from Ms Deb Hues herself; it was a week long each time and I can say that I'm painting in thicker, juicier strokes using my brushes in a more efficient manner. Deb Hues does landscapes and beach scapes, and she has a beautiful and distinctive flair to her paintings. Lisa Skelley is a pastel artist, and she creates the most beautiful ocean scenes with dramatic crashing of the waves on the seashore. If you are lucky enough to be in Balboa Island, it's a must see kind of place! So please get in there to browse the paintings. You will see Hues and Skelley paintings, but also I saw Terry Miura's paintings, Ryan Jensens and Mark Fehlman, to name a few. These art pieces will rock your visual senses and they will beautify the world around you - and make your home a more beautiful place to be. Hues & Skelley Art Gallery is in their 26th year in business, so they're doing something really important for this world we live in. Thank you.
