On my way to the room, when I first got to the Omni Hotel Resort in Carlsbad, CA i noticed what…read morelooked like a craft/farmers market going on in the hotel grounds. I thought that was cool but I was so exhausted from my travels, I went to my room and crashed for a few hours. After I woke up, I noticed the market was closing up and I decided to check out some of the vendors that were still there. One of them was Reflections By the Sea. I was amazed by how beautiful the pieces of art and decor. They had this beautiful beach theme going and it really felt like California looking at those pieces. If I did not have to fly back to Ohio, I would have bought some of the larger ones. I did buy two beautiful beach theme coasters, one for myself and one for my brother. My brothers room is coastal, so it definitely fits with his decor. I think anyone in the Carlsbad area should check out this store!

From the owner: I put my whole heart into every piece I make. I hope my art will bring you joy! Thank you for your…read moreinterest and support, it inspires me to continue creating new and unique pieces for all to enjoy

As an artist, Greg Gutierrez's paintings and sculptures speak of passion, interrelation, and…read morefortitude. Vibrant colors are mixed with dynamic representations of nature, life, and an inspirational sense of inner strength. His work conveys the concept of awakening the spirit, and inspires one to search for a greater meaning from within. As an author, Greg Gutierrez is THE veritable "Steinbeck Of Surfing." San Diego's Union-Tribune refers to his work as "Mythological." There is a fluid and articulate poignancy to Greg's writing style. His book, "Zen and the Art of Surfing," available through his website, www.greggutierrez.com, is a collection of short stories which will excite both surfers and non-surfers alike. Real life and fictional experience are presented in a manner that is forthright and endearing in relation to the ali'i "Sport of Kings." The path to enlightenment is illuminated throughout the book via skilled metaphors and symbolisms of lessons that are realized, not achieved. For a brilliant artist and author like Greg, inspiring greatness has been achieved via the pathless embodiment of humble excellence!

What a fantastic artist!! She is so versatile with her styles and techniques. Her talents seem…read moreboundless in both sculpture and wall art. She is experimental and unafraid to try styles and techniques I've never even seen done before. She can really work with ANY medium whether it's for sculptures, statues and any visual art. She's extremely impressive and we're so fortunate she brought her talents to Oceanside and opened up this new gallery. I've seen her restoration portfolio and it's just incredible what this woman is capable of. She hired me to sing for her gallery for the South O Walkabout on 2nd Wednesdays of each month and this is how we met. Her styles are suitable for private homes, corporate buildings, high end hotels and she really does believe in the "go big or go home" mindset. She works on large canvas and from the collection I've seen, as far as I can tell her talent for visual art is completely boundless whether you are looking to commission a piece or repair a statue/sculpture that's been damaged. Welcome to Oceanside Roberta!!

Typically, it’s been built better with fiber materials than today’s pieces & should be preserved. I can help you do that by refreshing, updating, staining, painting, whatever we think will work for you. It’s so rewarding to see an older piece of furniture come to life again! I’m also a fine art painter. I paint on canvas and walls and even furniture! I enjoy acrylics and oils. I take commission projects, too. In addition, I paint different textures and faux finishes on walls.
