Her husband, Rich, (one of the super talented painters) is totally lovely as well. This gallery is a prime example of the finest art in the county, and the collection and space is magnificent.

And always lovely paintings exhibited. It's a pleasure doing business here.

The adorable store is hidden inside the inner courtyard of the Montecito Mart. It is filled to the ceiling with nautical-themed home goods and tchotchkes.

I just so happened to venture in during the Holidays of which there were ornaments, Christmas trees and a bunch of fabulous gifts for that special person. Even better yet: they offer to wrap whatever you purchase with their adorable seagull tissue paper! Consider Christmas present shopping done and done!

Upon returning, a week or so later, I asked to see the piece and showed the saleswoman the picture. She found the piece, (which she dragged out of a cupboard unprotected and wedged between several other canvases) and said the price was $2200. I was seriously considering the piece, and asked permission to send a more clear photo of it to my husband for his approval. She became rude and said "No, you already have a picture." Well, that turned me off right then and there. It was actually a rhetorical question. I happen to own two beach homes and I collect seascapes. Too bad this gallery won't be getting any of my business. I have never encountered this type of behavior from any of the galleries that I frequent in Laguna Beach.
