The breath of interesting works is quite remarkable and this gallery offers a rich and rewarding start to your adventure on State Street. One of the featured artists, Richard Schloss may actually be painting behind the scenes in the gallery. How cool that? Some of his works feature the other worldly qualities of rainy conditions around the area. They are deeply interesting and atmospheric! The staff is super laid back, knowledgeable and very in tune with the artists featured in their gallery. This rich experience was further enhanced by the adorable dog that accompanies the owners to work and has run of the gallery. The paintings in this gallery were amazing and you could certainly build a room or house around some of them! State Street is an experience like no other and this Art Gallery made it even more so. A must stop for anyone in the area! -G

From the organized and open lay out of the gallery, to the friendly assistance by Mr. Rick Schloss and his wife, Julie - my experience at SB Fine Art was second to none. For those that are not familiar with Mr. Schloss's artistic style, he specializes and demonstrates mastery in depicting Seascapes. The way in which he captures natural light and reflections is truly stunning. One must see for themselves to appreciate his level of expertise. Additionally, what I also appreciate about SB Fine Art is that Mr. Schloss has opened his doors (and walls) to display artwork by local Artists of various styles. He continuously exhibits his love and support for the Santa Barbara community and we are very lucky to have him! For those looking to add exquisite artistic decor to their homes that embodies the natural beauty of Santa Barbara I highly recommend stopping by SB Fine Art.
