“A must visit gallery while in Carmel. You won't be disappointed. If you're lucky, you'll run into Aaron, his wife and two fabulous Saluki dogs : )”
“I just purchased one of my first original pieces of art at Nancy Dodds Gallery, and I'm thrilled. My husband and I recently purchased a house, and we're starting to collect art on our travels. Nancy was so nice and helpful, and I love the vibe of the gallery. My lovely new painting by Zoya Scholis now hangs in my living room, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Nancy, for all your help!”
“So great chatting with the kind owner - this is our second time to the gallery (me and my boyfriend) and we always love chatting with her and seeing the art. Our favorite item was the girl with bird painting by Smirnov. Thank you and we look forward to coming back soon!”
“My wife and I walked in here during our tour of Carmel and aren’t we glad we did! All of the staff were lovely and their collection of photography is impressive. We walked away with two photographs, one from Michael Milner and one from Brett Wetson. A big thank you to Julia for all of her help!!”
“The garden area to walk through to get there is so magical. It reminds me of the Secret Garden. They have the Disney puzzle's there as well as all the beautiful paintings.”

“Amazing service provided by employees there. Right as I walked in was greeted by one of the members. Beautiful gallery with a variety of historic collections & colorful art. Any questions you may have the front desk is more than happy to answer.”
“I had a pleasant visit to this small gallery at the Sunset Center for the Casanave exhibit. No crowds, so I was left to browse at my own pace. Good lighting and presentation of photographs.”
“I am originally from Northern California and now unfortunately I live nowhere near the ocean in Denver Colorado. I was delighted to find a beautiful ring with the help of Adriana that had California redwood in it. It is so beautiful. Two years or earlier on a vacation in Monterey I purchased a redwood bracelet from Tamara G. Both times I brought my puppy with me and the staff was so delightful. Honestly if you're going to buy something in Monterey definitely you have to hit the store. It is worth it. It's nice to know that I have a little bit of my home state all the time. Love my ring & bracelet:”
