It is INSANE to me that this level of artistry is not blasted everywhere in El Paso and beyond. I…read moreasked for small local businesses to help me find gifts for the upcoming holidays and y'all didn't disappoint. I wanted to have a family picture with particular shades to fill my living room. With Covid and toddlers we just kept pushing it off until Mini Artbox showed me her work. This is not just a photograph, it's art, and it's SO AFFORDABLE. It's less than what a photo session cost including the printed pictures and frame. Just ask and be surprised at the cost. We ordered a huge canvas and she worked with me over 2 days. I sent her over 10+ pictures at different times and dates and we worked together to choose the right pose and size and she hand blends, stencils, and paints it to life. ‍ She's taking commissions right now, and I hesitate to share, but it's SUCH a wonderful gift even when social distancing. I predict she'll be quite busy. https://www.facebook.com/miniartboxep/videos/3423935964367407/

Everytime I come to El Paso, I always end up swinging by to see what they have. This place is great for gifts for those of my loved ones who are from El Paso. On my most recent adventure, I had the chance to pick up some candles and linen spray. The names were super fun but the taglines really made me chuckle. Hope to see this shop exist for many more years. Everything is priced very well for the most part and the team here is always friendly. Take the time to go through all the tables and explore the products.

I was visiting my boyfriend and decided we would love the experience of hiring a personal chef. I…read moresubmitted a menu request on Bark.com, and Jasmine contacted me via email from Cooking Time. I decided to hire her for dinner services since she was the only chef in the area to respond to my request. The food was less than mediocre/salty, and her prices were well above the average chefs. I did not complain, and I gave her a 20% tip. I decided to give her another try, so I requested a breakfast quote, but she tried to charge an outlandish fee of $700 for two people. I questioned the charges, and she decided to drop the price to $500. I texted her multiple times before the scheduled date, but she never responded. A week before services, I reached out to her, and she finally responded five days before the scheduled appointment. She told me she had a cold, so she could not respond, and she would be unable to provide services for the planned date. I have never known anyone suffering from a cold who could not contact the client well in advance and inform them they could not make the scheduled appointment. I would be leery of hiring her and ensuring she provides an itemized list of all your requests. Experience is a good teacher.

There aren't enough good things to say or thanks to give Art Masters of El Paso!…read more Last year my little brother passed away so I got 2 portraits of him painted and took the paintings to Art Masters to get them framed. They helped us choose great frames for the paintings and we put down a small deposit. They turned around and quickly got the job done before my brother's birthday in less than a week! Upon my return to pick up the frames, the owner (Doug I believe? I'm sorry if that's incorrect!) told me that he was sorry for our loss and that the rest of the payment was on the house. I was so taken back at that incredibly kind and sincere gesture, I truly can't thank you all enough for the blessing you provided in that time. Art Masters not only cares about their work but their customers as well. I will be back to frame other prints to support this amazing business!!! Once again, thank you SO much. (My mom loved it by the way!)

Art Masters has framed many of my frames with some official pictures and military recognitions. They do an incredible and very precise job. They also give ten percent to former military. Art Masters is in my mind the best custom art and framing shop locally. They also do art restoration, frames and art displays and art leasing. You can find them at 6501 N. Mesa Suite C at +1 (915) 833-3838. I highly recommend this place!
