With luck on my side, I was able to score a signed Alex Wood authentic jersey. My friend insisted I get it framed, so I looked around my local area and came across this location. Reading the reviews on here as well as other places, I had to give it a try. When I brought the jersey I , Austin assisted me right away. He asked me what and how I wanted things to be framed and informed me of the different colors that would match the jersey. At first, the price was higher than I budgeted, but he was able to shorten the dimensions of the frame by readjusting my jersey a bit more to a price I was comfortable with. He also asked if I wanted a name plate to help display the name of the jersey and I agreed with how reasonable that price was as well. Austin was very transparent with the entire process, from how long it takes and what he planned on doing, to the cost of each step of the way. He assisted me in keeping things at a fair budget and I appreciate his customer service and friendliness. I picked up my jersey the other day and I am amazed at how it turned out. The nameplate looked awesome and the jersey is on full display with the signature as well. The worker who finished my transaction was also helpful and showed me the proper way to hang it. All in all, I highly recommend this place to get your stuff framed. You pay for high quality material and service and I know I will be back again for any future projects I could have to be framed.

I went in looking for a specific oil painting by J.Huber, another bird to add to and compliment my other two paintings. I was directed to where Huber's works were on display. I was immediately drawn to this painting, a California Scrub Jay I believe, and put it aside to purchase. I can't wait to see this piece e with my other two, a hummingbird and crow, gifts I received from my mother who purchased them from Sawsan's shop. Great experience, fun to see the owner's personal collections, favorites, framed art and her personal works she has painted or drawn. So many paintings displayed but also in art drawers ready to be framed. My heart is full from this visit. Thank you Sawsan. There are so many artists works on display throughout the shop. Prices are super reasonable for unique one of a kind pieces.

The shop is odd, because it has a pinball gallery teeming with boisterous kids in the same space, only separated by a partial partition. I was forewarned about this on the phone. There is very little natural light in the shop. Not a pleasant environment for framing art unless you have a kid you need to entertain while you shop for frames. I really liked a particular frame and was given a very high quote, close to $500 for 16" by 20", no mat or glass and 4-5 week turnaround time. I aready have many custom framed pieces and know what costs can be- this was too high. I was able to find the identical frame for half the price elsewhere with a 2-3 week turnaround. I do appreciate that I was shown this frame. I'm not sure if I'd have noticed it on my own. I wish I could give a better review but high prices and slow turnaround are deal breakers for me.

John guided me towards unique frames and backing that complemented the artwork while not detracting from the beauty of the pieces. I was amazed at the diversity of offerings and really appreciated having a one on one meeting dedicated to discussing the various choices, which had been thoughtfully reviewed by J & J ahead of time. At no time was I pressured into selecting any particular option, but was shown several ideas of varying cost. Once a decision was made an approximate pick up date was provided. While a little longer than other places I have used the quality of the work is definitely worth the wait. J & J are perfectionists from start to finish, even to the wrapping of the end product to ensure safe passage home. My artwork was handled with careful respect at each stage. Their 3 step process : initial consult; review of suggested materials; and final pick up meeting was as unique as their offerings. This is a very special business operated by two highly skilled artisans. Both were an absolute pleasure to work with,

Held meetings to draw people into the gallery and held demonstrations. In the past year I've added and sold my Resin work along with my Encaustic Paintings. Resin is considered 3D in the gallery, which made it awkward as the 3D Curator is a sculpture and never wanted my small Resin Coasters and such in the gallery. She got her way and had changed the requirements I had originally obtained when I agreed to sell my Resin work at the gallery 2 days before and after they received my $110 to exhibit these pieces. They refused to give back my fees when I decided to withdraw because of these changes. UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES - RELAXED FACE MASK USE in the gallery by the Management, and group gatherings during COVID19. These were my reasons for leaving after 7 years. It's a coop but it's turned into something else, that is now very undesirable with bad business sense, and an unhealthy turn of events. While most artwork and artists are top notch, there are a handful of people that have taken their positions as a power play, holding back any growth opportunities for both the artists and the gallery. As an artist and a customer at this time, I do not recommend this gallery for the reasons stated above.
