Saturday 1700 The…read morePlaza Galleries was relatively quiet at this hour and we were able to enjoy the art pieces unmolested by other patrons. I was in love with almost every piece and unfazed by the prices. The store owner Barak and the other European lady were fantastic at giving us our space and then at explaining the art process and the history behind the pieces we were interested in. I was superbly interested in a bear piece by Miri, who happened to be Barak's sister, and Barak described her painting process and the curators even brought the piece over to another room so we can observe how the painting changed when the lights were dimmed. When we left we were told two other couples had expressed interest in the bear piece, then when we came back from dinner another couple were just leaving to dinner to talk over which two of three pieces (one being the bear piece) they were going to procure. The 48" by 48" piece shipped to the US cost $350 Canadian and is insured and fitted into a custom crate, to arrive in a week. Overall a happy, happy customer!

I love the dramatic 3 dimensional paintings. I browse this gallery every time I come to Whistler.read more

The Mark Richards Gallery features a wide range of beautiful landscape paintings…read more We learned at the Mark Richards Gallery about a technique entitled: "Luminous Photo Impressionisms." It's hard to explain, but as the lighting on the painting is reduced, it accurately reflects what the landscape would look like during different times of the day - in terms of sunlight, fading sunlight - very cool! You have to see this! The lady managing the shop was very nice.

Love , love , love this art…read more My sister and I both collect art from places where we travel. When i saw this gallery the works looked similar to an artist from Lunenburg nova Scotia that i had collected a piece from years ago. we went inside the gallery and was greeted by a very sweet woman who spent a lot of time with us. - turns out Mark Richards is the son of the other artist Daniel Richards. Both my sister and i walked out with a purchase each. Now both works of art (father & Son) are in my entrance hall and just looking at them takes me back to the Canadian coasts.

Super cool art gallery located in the retail wing attached to the Westin Hotel…read more I went in to explore one hot afternoon - and found a wide array of gorgeous and interesting paintings and sculptures by local artists. They had a number of interesting paintings from BC artist Jennifer Sparacino. I don't know how to properly characterize her style of art - so I direct you to her web site to read more about her and her style: http://www.jennifersparacino.com/art/ My absolute favorite was a painting of a Black Bear. I'd love to own something like that - but it was way outside of my price range. Still - it did not diminish my enjoyment of the artistry and craft that went into these pieces. A nice place to visit while in Whistler!

The…read moregallery will crate and ship any item purchased worldwide and insure your piece will arrive safely. While I was there in August, there were several pieces that I really liked. I was asked to not take pictures, so I have none to share. However, I would recommend checking out their website to see who the featured artists are and what art is available as I learned the artists rotate. There were the expected wilderness/Canada-I-love-thee canvas paintings. There were the unexpected, vivid, bright colors of nature. Besides paintings, they also had photography and mixed media.
