I had inquired about one size initially but decided on a new size when their employee came to take official measurements. However they ended up making the first size and permanently glued the mirror to the wall (instead of hanging it, which is the default installation with other mirror companies). If they only glue mirrors permanently, they should notify clients of this in advance. Now the mirror can't be removed without permanent damage to the wall, which will take time and money to repair. I didn't document the exact final size in writing with their measurement employee (Mike, who I'll say was great during the appointment but might've not communicated the new size to the company - not sure), but it seems Scott has gone silent and is avoiding attempting to admit the disconnect on their end, and is avoiding communicating about or correcting the issue in any way. Also worth noting that they charge extra for installing in apartment buildings. I'd wish I'd read more of their reviews before working with them. I rarely write negative reviews but this was such a disappointing and unprofessional experience, and I've worked with many contractors without any issue. Avoid.

My husband made the turtle - expensive, but worth the two experts it took to make it. I made the blow fish. The experience was unbelievable.

It was beyond amazing and a "HAVE TO DO". Thank you, Louis and T-bone. I was most concerned about safety and the heat. They were very good about safety and explained everything.

This is the same building that has the satellite city hall office. Parking is either on the street or in nearby lots. There is a municipal parking lot in the same building which entrance is on Bethel Street. Parking is cheap. Both times I went, it was on a Sunday. I found the DAC to be so interesting with the artwork displays from mostly local artists. There is a different exhibit each month and the best part, it's free to visit. They also hold art classes there. The layout of the center is a decent size, white walls, and spacious walking thru. They also have their own restrooms which were very clean. In January, the monthly exhibit was about the WWII internment camp in Waipahu as part of the Honouliuli National Historic Site's 10th anniversary celebration. It was informative & I learned somethings that I never knew before. In March the Hawaii Watercolor Society had a member's showing, which was also an interesting exhibit seeing the beautiful water color paintings. Overall, nice experience to check out.

Not particularly well laid out with a table right as you walk in. Seemed clunky. Also - I was bugged that the work was not necessarily level...either the pieces were cockeyed or the labels were...sometimes both. And it was also weird that the labels didn't seem to be uniform...with one (maybe 2?) artist(s) having a QR code. Perplexing. The show itself was good...if kinda redundant.

I stopped by NOHEA Gallery at the mall today with a friend, just planning to browse for a bit, and…read morewe ended up having one of the most memorable art experiences I've had in a long time. We had the pleasure of meeting (JORDAN), one of the artists who works at the gallery. He was incredibly kind and generous with his time, walking us through the store and sharing the stories behind some of the pieces. When we asked to see his own artwork, we were blown away. Jordan has an incredible talent for capturing the beauty of the east side of the island-the lush greens, deep blues, and the feeling you get when you're out on a hike surrounded by nature. As someone who spends a lot of time exploring those places, his work really spoke to me. You can feel the connection to the land in every piece. What impressed me even more is how young he is. His level of skill and vision is remarkable, and it's exciting to think about where his artistic journey will take him in the future. We were lucky enough to purchase a few of his pieces for an amazing price and I truly feel grateful to have them in my home. It's rare to find artwork that resonates so deeply, and even rarer to meet the artist behind it. If you're visiting NOHEA Gallery, take the time to ask about Jordan's work you won't regret it. Supporting talented local artists like him makes the experience even more special. I'm beyond excited to own a few of his pieces and can't wait to watch his career grow!

I took his Sargent Master copy class of 8 sessions where we learned John Singer Sargent's method of portraiture. I paint primarily watercolor en plein air landscapes and this class is classical oil painting using charcoal value studies and color studies to develop an oil painting. As an artist it is important to continually challenge yourself and this was exactly what I needed. Mixing colors on the palette, learning to see and record what you see, was training in observation, painting technique, and color mixing. William is a good teacher, never imposing but always giving instruction. The other students had taken many more classes and were more seasoned, so they more progressed quickly, but I feel like this was an advantage because I didnt know because I hung tough to mix the right colors.
