Carlo Marchiori is amazing...think *Hieronymus Bosch meets Italian Renaissance meets Cirque du Soleil * all with a big twist. Words can not describe it. An amazing ceiling mural graces this beautiful open gallery. Enticing you in are bizarre sculptures of *boney birds* but there is so much more.... Trompe l'oeil furniture, scarves and art Graphic plates with animals and skeletons (I said with a twist!) Loved the skeleton plate BTW! 3-D architectural models of famous structures (loved these!!) Bronze sculptures, more ceramics (very interesting plaques), paintings in Water and Acrylic... I picked up a pair of Harry Allen (famous designer) candle sticks that replicate Greek Revival style in white resin. Love them!!

Each room contains an artist's work I am interested in, for my own place. Being in this gallery has the feel of being in a museum quality place, not flipping through bulk at an art supply store. This gallery was established in 1985, and is a landmark for me now. The owner has been in this location all the time. It is a world class art gallery. The proprietor is clearly an expert. Our chat-time gave me a ton of insight about Lee Youngman Galleries. The compositions are welcomed for personal purchases, business establishments, and even significant gifts. This is not a small cramped space. This gallery is as classy as they come. And I didn't feel the unwelcome assessment other galleries in that area are apparently obligated to dispense. If you want to enjoy the experience of a fine art purchase, come in here. The memory you create at Lee Youngman Galleries will be a good one

Not only because several of them have works displayed here but because Lee's gracious hospitality and personality are unsurpassed. She is one of the best representatives of fine art in the wine country, if not the entire state. The works that can be viewed here are some of the best to be found anywhere - and always a treat to see for an artist or collector. If you are interested in seeing some of the best fine art California has to offer, in a no pressure environment, that feels like home - this is the place. You won't be disappointed!

I heard the 65-75 years old sales woman with the long white hair greet the white couple and make some small talk. She said nothing to us the entire time, even when we were literally standing less than 5 feet from her. She also made it a point to walk from the back of the store to the front just to tell the white couple good-bye before they walked out. We were right behind them and still nothing. Take your money elsewhere! I did!

I was in the process of sending her a picture in a text asking her to pick the one she might like to give to her daughter. Suddenly a woman abruptly appeared from the back of the store and rudely told me I was "Welcome to purchase one..." telling me I should support the artist rather than take pictures. Her rude tone was very unpleasant and I turned and walked away never to return. There were other shops in town on the same street with much nicer shopkeepers to do business with.

It was a magical, one could call alchemical, blend of recycled and up cycled materials to depict the natural world. It was a unique mix of painting and sculpture. An earlier exhibition was called "The Fire and the Rose are One" after the 2017 wildfires. The owners know their artists, making it a personal experience. They've had poetry readings, screened movies that depict the artistic works in the process of creation.
