After going through the first section, we entered the second and were about to continue into the final part when an employee unexpectedly stopped us. I was told I needed to leave because I had "touched the talent." This accusation surprised me -- it simply didn't happen. The area was pitch black, and I held onto my friend's arm to stay together, not reaching for or guiding anyone else. Regardless, we didn't want to cause a scene and decided to leave quietly. I wanted to share this because the situation was confusing and disappointing. We were really looking forward to the full experience and left feeling unfairly treated. DO NOT RECOMMEND

What is so fantastic about visiting this gallery is that no 2 artists do similar work. Every one brings something very unique and often times something you have never seen before.

I brought a 60 year old oil painting (a sentimental family painting) to Annabella to see if she…read morecould restore it. It was dirty, moldy, tarnished and the canvas was brittle and in very bad shape. She painstakingly cleaned it, put a new linen backing on, built a new inner frame for the canvas, repaired the original outside frame, painted in areas that were damaged or needed to be filled in - perfectly matching the original paint colors. She spent hours and hours over 6 weeks working on it. The end result was simply beautiful - it looks like the brand new original now! I can't believe my good fortune in finding Annabella. She is extremely talented, professional, enthusiastic, and joyful to do business with. I can't recommend her highly enough.
