Along with the furnishings and small home good items, there is also a nice selection of photo prints from local artists as well as light home goods (ex. dish towels, games, etc). And apparently there's even a sip and paint night for patrons who want to test their artistic skills.

I didn't want to take too many photos, as I wasn't sure how each artist would feel about that. There are over 100 artists, he said. Therefore, I restrained myself. However, I took a photo of this little guy as we walked in and I love how he created a shadow behind him! There was a nice selection of art to choose from. They were unique and beautiful, each in their own way. There was birdhouses made of wine corks and little copper roofs, and some made only of corks! There was a darling little caterpillar card, obviously created by hand, appeared to be painted, and was of good value, in my opinion. It was around three dollars. If we were in the area again, I would probably stop in again.

My wife and I are both painters, so we like to stop to visit any art galleries we see along the way in our travels, and we were very impressed. The art and the prices here will be hard to beat anywhere. Plus, if you're in the mood to relax for a few minutes, there is a small wine bar with indoor and outdoor seating. Brandi, the owner, lives nearby and can fill you in on things to do and see in the area as well. Things slow down in the Winter (Jan-Mar) in Groveland but hopefully you will find the gallery open. We certainly recommend a visit if you are going through there... possibly on a visit to Yosemite which is about 30 minutes away.

I am including in this Yelp review the Artists Statement, with the Artists permission, this statement also appears on the web site. 5 thumbs up here folks. Driven by my curiosity and passion for the natural environment, I am interested in the complex tension that occurs between the man made and organic world. As human evolution becomes increasingly dominated by technology and science, our connection with the natural environment has gradually become more distant, reformulating what we consider to be natural or synthetic. As we continue to advance as a species, it is obvious that we share the mutual desire with nature to survive, to persevere, and to thrive successfully. Through this, I have found that a symbiotic relationship is not always formed, constructing an intricate tension within our co-evolutionary development. Primarily, I find most interesting the issues of how we view, understand, and attempt to reconstruct the natural world around us. With our scientific knowledge of nature being relatively surface (but more highly revered), we continue to try to harness the unknown and untame. By sorting information into rigid systems and highly structured formats through studies and testing, dissection and experimentation, we continue our pursuit of harnessing the unknown. Being crucial to our existence, our desire and need to control and manipulate nature is evident. The effects of this are revealed in the ways that we address our bodies through contemporary medicine, and confront the issues of birth and death by means of synthetic intervention and treatment. Similar are the ways in which we cultivate our foods using genetic modification and chemical supplement to optimize results, radically shifting our ideals of what we consider food and health to be. The aspect in which these artificial and organic elements collide and integrate physically and visually through our current events inspires me to further initiate a dialogue and question this dichotomy through my work. Working abstractly in both organic and manmade materials, I hope to allow the viewer a new opportunity to investigate and question the delicate nature of this equation and reconstruct what we assume as ordinary, embrace a renewed curiosity of the natural, and become re-enchanted with the familiar.
