So there is a wide selection. She also has multiple price points. The space is welcoming and there is plenty of room to walk around and see all the art. There are also times where the gallery hosts the Glass Brick Band. Their music is a wonderful experience. I highly recommend taking the trip out and going home with a new piece of art.

The main room is more of a carefully curated shop, while the other is a small art gallery. Very interesting place of which I wandered for a fair amount of time. I ended up with a nice print and maybe should have gone after one of the cloth card holder/wallets.

Lisa is an extremely talented artist who specializes in acrylic paintings. Her use of the knife is…read moreexquisite and really brings her work to life. I particularly enjoy her many captures of nature and the calming effect of the environment. Lisa, like her art has a radiant personality and is truly a joy to be around.

I only recently met Lisa through my wife Kimmy and I must say Kimmy has very good taste in people…read more My mother was an accomplished artist herself and I think Lisa shows real talent. She uses mainly Acrylic Paint and a knife to paint and has a gift for perspective, color, and balance. I was especially impressed by her subtle use of blue in a small painting of birches, which really pops out at you almost like 3D. I know too how difficult painting water can be and she tackled that nicely in a recent boat painting. Again I was both surprised and pleased by her use of color here. I am getting ready to publish a new book of poetry and hoping that I will be able to talk Lisa into doing some painting that will capture the mood of my work! Keep your eye on this young lady! I know that I am!

The 3-acre botanical garden seems to be a natural wonder. Hard to imagine the visionaries. Marshall and Lester, who were inspired to create this garden.

Call ahead about visiting and available plants in season. The daily fee is worth every penny. Hundreds of plant varieties many very rare.
