Friendly staff on the premises to help you and answer questions about the works of art. Very interesting how the sales person explained how some of the paintings were done. One of my favorite being a modern art piece of brlliant colors blended together, that was created by being inspired by his wife"s colorful garden. Some of the paintings actually looked more like a real photograph than a painting. Such amazing talent. I really love this gallery.

Nothing wrong with people wanting to spend their money on fancy clothes and whatnot, but other than the beautiful natural area, the local artists is what's it's all about!

Once in awhile one or two pieces might catch my eye when I walk by, but really nothing I wanted to pursue or check out further. Then I happened to walk by Zantman and was was transported to that spot that art lovers have described but which I've never experienced till then. For me, the art was moving, moody and drew me in to a story I hadn't yet told or heard. The gallery owner was welcoming and didn't make me feel like I was out of my league. Sadly, I don't have the art lover's budget, but if I did, this is where I'd spend it.

This photographer must have spent years at the ocean's edge to capture so much variety of light and color. I have no idea what these beauties might have cost. I just enjoyed the looking at them.
