    Sometimes it's not just the framing! The word "Gallery"…read moredescribes a place for exhibiting and selling art but really it's so much more. For me it's the experience - the time spent looking, studying, and simply browsing a collection is worth gold to me. Chemers Gallery in Tustin is that place that offers that whole experience. Every time I go in there, which I admit isn't near often enough but probably more than some, I delight in "finds". I have a fairly decent collection of artwork and it's not confined to paintings. I've ceramics, sculptures, glasswork, pottery, photographs, and a few weird pieces of found object works as well. Quite a few of those pieces have come from this jewel of a gallery so close to home. The owner Karen, and her friendly staff have always allowed me the luxury to simply roam. I have to walk through numerous times to take everything in. I get distracted by one or two pieces and then turn around and find something else completely unexpected. And, it becomes mine. I love this place!! I am a retired healthcare designer and Chemers was the art consultant on a few of our firms healthcare projects. What I enjoyed was the chosen works were always different from the predictable works too often seen in healthcare spaces and, they always complimented the concepts of our interiors. I also love the shows and exhibitions they often host here. Often soliciting works from local artists, craftspeople, and even foodies, these "pop-up" shows are always good for gifts, wearables, and sometimes taste-ables! And if I'm lucky, I often walk away with a new piece! I always look forward to stopping in on these shows and could spend an hour or more perusing. Do yourself a favor and visit this gallery - oh, and of course, don't forget, they also do excellent framing!!

    Beautiful shop with such a helpful staff. The owner spent a long time making suggestions and…read moreshowing me options. They did a beautiful job on my finished piece and I'm so happy to have found them.

    Met a guy at the San Diego fair. Was totally not interested in helping but when I finally decided…read moreto choose a piece, he tried to charge me for a frame without asking for it (+$20) and then gave me an attitude when I didn't want it, basically told me to piss off. Probably would have rated this a lot higher if he wasn't terrible since the art looks so nice, but I imagine if they make a mistake on the order or it gets damaged in transit, you're on your own. Not to mention the frame he tried to sell me was dirty, obviously bent, and looked like it was from Michael's

    Good things take time. Great things take even longer…read more I can state, unequivocally, that the most crowded booth at the January 2018 Salt Lake Home Show wasn't a local landscaper, kitchen builder, or home designer. It was a Handmade Silk Embroidery Art gallery out of Tustin, California. I haven't seen lines like that since Communist Russia in the 80s. Their process includes a zillion steps, including stitching the most intricate parts of the pattern with silk threads and needles. It takes TIME, but the end results are quite stunning. The depth of feel that their embroidery gives will leap out at you. It is also VERY intricate; you and your future houseguests will probably spend hours gawking at the details. The best stuff isn't cheap, but the smaller pieces I saw go for a more reasonable $50-$100. So I imagine you can see them at a home show near you. Warning: You may have to take a number to get in. ;)
