With Christmas shopping completed two weeks before the holiday and no intent to purchase anything…read moreelse, we walked into Velez Galleries "just to look". Browsing the vast collection of turquoise and other stones and pieces of jewelry we asked about White Buffalo. Michael showed us a raw mined chuck of White Buffalo of which he explained how he could craft into a pendant to fit on my wife's Navajo necklace. Velez Galleries went above and beyond to create a truly special pendant. Michael's exceptional service and professionalism made the entire experience unforgettable, entertaining and educational. We were particularly impressed with how Michael took the time to explain where White Buffalo was mined and how he could transform a raw stone into a beautifully crafted pendant. This one-of-a-kind piece is something my wife will treasure forever. Needless to say, Christmas shopping was extended for one more day and we walked out of Velez Galleries with a new pendant and earrings. Give them a call or stop by, not only do they create the most amazing jewelry on site but they do repair work as well as buy selected items from the public.

Her spirit of joy was contagious and I was uplifted by this experience in Green Horse Gallery.

My first impression was, "The collection of art is really unique, stuff I've never seen before."…read more My first impression has its story. So after hearing from the owner of the gallery, their art collection is a compilation of work from local artists in the area. How cool is that? Everything is its own, and they have everything from paintings, sculptures, handcrafted jewelry (my favorite), photographs, and many others. It's definitely unique and original which makes it pricey if you're looking to purchase a piece of artwork. But if you're looking for something new to spruce up your wall, it's a good place to check out. They have quite a lot of different styles of artwork to choose from, and I stumbled upon a portfolio of Gene Trindl's work in Hollywood during his lifetime. I'm not sure if it was on sale, but I really enjoying looking through all the photographs of Hollywood stars photographed by Trindl. It's just a little interesting encounter on my part because I study media and Trindl is an American idol in magazine photography! (Check out mptvimages.com for some amazing works of photography). The lasting impression? "A great place to browse around for some inspiration of art or to find a unique item for your home!"
