5-Star Review After…read morea very frustrating series of framing failures at Mitre & Bevel in Cathedral City, Art Works Gallery & Picture Framing Center in Palm Desert restored my faith in professional picture framing. I am a professional artist preparing work for an upcoming exhibition on a tight deadline. Mitre & Bevel had repeatedly cut rabbet openings too small for my stretched canvases--three separate times--blamed the artwork instead of their poor workmanship, and refused to properly stand behind their work. I was left with only a few days to find a solution before my exhibition delivery deadline. I brought my painting and some older frame pieces to Art Works Gallery & Picture Framing Center and explained the situation and the urgency. The difference was immediate. The owner treated me professionally, respectfully, and knowledgeably. She understood the issue instantly, measured the canvas properly, allowed correct clearance in the rabbet (as any competent framer should), and even cut down and reworked the existing frame pieces I brought in to create a proper fit. This was done as a rush job, and the frame opening was cut perfectly--the canvas dropped in cleanly, sat flat, and required no shaving, forcing, or compromise. No excuses. No blame-shifting. Just correct craftsmanship. My painting was framed immediately and correctly, and delivered in time for my exhibition without stress or drama--confirming that the canvas had never been the problem. If you are a professional artist, collector, or anyone who values their artwork, this is the frame shop you want. Art Works Gallery & Picture Framing Center clearly understands proper museum framing standards, takes pride in their work, and treats customers with professionalism and respect. After dealing with poor workmanship and poor customer service at Mitre & Bevel, this shop was a breath of fresh air. I will be bringing all my future framing work here and recommend Art Works Gallery & Picture Framing Center without hesitation.

The parking was easy and the store was clean. Good first impression. Now, I don't always understand…read morethe reason a store is organized the way it is, and I understand they want everyone to wander the store. This store is rather confusing, since it feels as if partial departments are throughout the store. I did not find what I needed, but in the clearance area, I did find some fun things. The prices were more "on sale" than clearance, but the price felt fair. In the sales floor, I didn't find anyone that could help, but at the register a very nice guy helped me. They have a self checkout line, unless you pay with cash. They are not set up to accept cash in the self checkout line. So, the place seems good and I will probably go again. It's worth checking out.

Today I was in the Uptown Design District hunting for something, ANYTHING, to refresh the décor inside my tired 2010 style guest room. And was elated to find a contemporary California art gallery actually offering unique original sculptures and decorative wall art. I have very particular tastes and need to see contemporary paintings in person to know if the style of artwork is going to work or not. I prefer abstract expressionism over figurative art. But as long as it's honest and beautiful that is really what matters most. At least that is what my interior designer friend says. Thankfully the artist, Peri G., is also the art gallery owner. I found out she can do custom work and can even locally deliver and install her art. Which is fine by me. Last time I hung a piece of art my husbands' mother threw her back out on the ladder. I had to wait two whole weeks before she could get back up there to finish the job! (I'm not being cruel, she insisted, LOL). Anyway, I am very pleased with Peri G. and her helpful staff. And am looking forward to working with her. Perhaps in my beloved patio sculpture garden too. Everything about this gallery seems quick and easy. And after a very stressful 2021 and 2022, I am happy to have found a new local art gallery to support and enjoy. Thanks Peri G. PS, Congrats on your invitation to the 2023 Los Angeles International Art Show in February! That's a big deal!! Way to go!

From the owner: Peri’s work has an unusually large range, utilizing various media to express her ideas. Unbridled…read morecreativity allows the artist to work in abstract, abstract expressionism, and figurative effortlessly. Layering is a crucial component of Peri’s work, all of her compositions are infused with her personal unique voice that dictates the materials to be utilized and the final message conveyed. As the artist evolves as a woman and creative spirit, her works reflect the season of which she is experiencing. Seasons may exemplify nature and a connection to the earth, and others represent an inclination toward structure and exploration of color. Her passion for interior design, architecture, and fashion, greatly influence her highly sophisticated works of art. Peri's innate passion for painting, organically drew her to exhibit professionally for the first time in 2006. The initial response to her work drove her clientele almost immediately to the world of collectors, celebrities, and world renowned architects, solidifying her as an international contemporary abstract artist. She has been represented by many galleries throughout the United States, and is in private collections around the world. She is enthusiastic to have creative control over her expanding brand, and looks forward emerging from the shadows, and being in direct contact with the public.
