Beautiful! I enjoy visiting the Trisha Adams Gallery and Studio. Her paintings are vibrant and…read morealways make me feel happy. Trisha is a pleasure to talk and helpful when making an art selection or commissioning a custom painting. It's a small space with refreshing light and comfortable seating while you enjoy looking at the artwork. I've bought a couple of her paintings and love them more every time I see them. (Fair warning - they do sell fast. Someone else bought one of the paintings I liked before I decided on it so I didn't delay on the next one.) She works on the paintings right there in the studio so you can see what's about to be ready. The gallery is in the Herndon historic district right next to the bike path. I like to make a day of it and have lunch etc. Because it's open "by chance or appointment", make sure to call ahead using the number on her website ( https://trishaadams.com/ ) to see if she's there. I once called when I realized I'd be nearby and she came right over!

I hired Samantha from Painted Palettes to hand letter mini pumpkins for a fall themed event and it…read morewas THE HIT FROM THE PARTY (even three months later, in the dead of winter my personalized pumpkin is still going strong and it's so beautiful I do not have the heart to throw it away). Samantha was easy to work with from start to finish and was able to stay professional despite the long lines at the party (I mean, how could you not want something so beautiful as a keepsake?). I could picture using her for corporate events, bridal showers, baby showers and any other celebration that could you a personalized twist. She can write on any material and even engraves on glass! I have not had the chance to check out her Intro to Hand Lettering classes yet but for now, I'll leave it to the pros. Painted Palettes is simply the best!

I first saw and met Samantha from Painted Palettes at a Yelp Elite event back in 2018. Then I…read morestarted following her work on Instagram (@painted_palettes). A couple months ago, my friend Kim and I took an Intro to Hand Lettering class with Samantha at Steadfast Supply in DC. Oh that rush hour traffic and $20 parking was sooo worth it! Turns out, Samantha used to be a teacher, and it shows in the way she articulates the class. It was easy to follow her instructions, and she was very hands-on with showing examples. Plus we got a pretty decent set of tools and goodies to take home with us! Since, I've purchased some of her watercolor artwork to hang at home. I am such a fan! The artwork can be found on her website or in various shops in the area. And her classes are actually affordable! Next I want to take her Pointed Pen class!

Over the holidays, I was searching for a caricature artist and was lucky enough to connect with…read moreAlexandra (Alex) Cheek from Caricature Artists Group LLC on Christmas Eve. She patiently listened to my vision for a retirement gift and immediately put me at ease with her friendly, professional approach. Alex gave me a realistic timeline that allowed time for review and edits, which I really appreciated. She quickly delivered a draft that perfectly captured my colleague's personality, and the final inked and colored caricature exceeded my expectations! Amazing talent, great communication, and a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Looking around the shop you see dozens, - hundreds? - of frame options. Very overwhelming Mr. Gurban listens and unerringly suggests a frame that you might never have considered, but is perfect.

Quality work in a timely manner at affordable prices - and you get his expert opinion at no extra charge. Highly recommend

Mike Sikes is AMAZING!…read more He's most definitely worth the wait... and I'm glad that I waited almost a year to get inked by him! If you're going for color, you're in for a treat. Even though I'm naturally tan, the color on my skin is VIBRANT! He's extremely professional, flawlessly clean, and his work is AWESOME. He's easygoing and has a warm personality -- so you'll definitely feel like you're in good hands. I'm totally looking forward to getting additional work done by him! He's THE BEST tattoo artist in this area!

I found myself wishing there was something more to do here than just buy comics because I wanted to hang around after my purchase just to geek out with them a bit on their tastes and why they were into the things they liked, etc. Their website could use a bit of work, but I'll try to hunt around for information that might give me an excuse to hang out there more often.
