“Emmeline’s art soothes the soul and creates a visual escape that is so often needed. Her wide range of sizes, from tiny miniatures to sweeping, bold canvasses, as well as stationery, books and calendars, allows for the perfect gift or statement in your own home or office. She is mesmerizing and an absolute joy to do business with. Additionally, her role as a life coach/advisor has had a positive impact on a multitude of people across the globe. She has guided me, while I live in Missouri and she in California, through personal transformation with wisdom and kindness, while being forthright with exactly what the next step should be. She is a treasure.”

“I had driven by Routes Gallery many times and always wondered what it was; today I was waiting for someone shopping next door at United so I decided to check it out. Routes has such a spacious and peaceful outdoor area with an assortment of plants and Buddhist and Hindu sculptures. Step inside and be immersed in more art and culture. There were Tibetan prayer flags, sage, bamboo, crystals, beads, and more. The singing bowls caught my attention. The owner of Routes was at the gallery; he was so friendly and I appreciated that he took time to talk to me and share his knowledge of the different bowls (they had metal and crystal). While I didn't buy anything on this visit to Routes, I enjoyed browsing the gallery and taking in the energy. I'll definitely be back!”

“Gaby is a wonderful human being, a great teacher for children and adults, too. If you were an artist as a kid and haven’t expressed that side of yourself in a while and would like to, Gaby can help guide you in rediscovering your creativity!”

“Keith Hansen is a renowned, world class artist. Specializing in birds, I would place Keith in the top 10 or higher bird illustrators in the world. He has an incredible eye, and an equally incredible ability to apply that to his media.”

“Visited on last week of the 2019 Beth Moon 'Diamond Nights' Photography exhibit. There's not a lot of street parking, so you may want to use Uber. Loved the layout and multiple bungalows where various galleries were set up. Highly Recommend!”

“The hours I have spent at the sweet spirit ceramic are amongst the best of my life. Fun, instructive, creative, socially and emotionally fulfilling. Barbara is an amazing highly accomplished teacher who, apparently with no effort, follows each student at their level and according to their learning methods.Fantastic for children and adults alike, you will soon discover that you found not just a potter but a teacher of life.My little personal history: when I first arrived to the States in 1988 I lived in San Geronimo Valley and I noticed that households and backyards were adorned by whimsical cookie jars, marble runs, imaginative castles and ceramic pots and plates. With time my daughter follow suit and I too have my share of ceramic pieces to decorate the rooms: from perfectly thrown jugs and vases to a plate to hide the peas in and a pig house with a slide on the roof.At some point I discovered that I could join in and I did, following Barbara when she moved to San Rafael whenever I had time, inclination or room in my shelves for new pieces, and never regretting it.Watch out: it can be addictive in the best possible way.”

“4/9/24 This is a delightful shop operated by Bonnie and resident jeweler, Jeffrey. I appreciate Jeffrey's jewelry designs for men and women and that there are many pieces and price points to choose from. My favorite go to was Gallery of Jewels on 24th Street but it closed a year or two ago. I am glad to have a new, wonderful place to find unique jewelry (and more) created by local artists!”

“I really am happy I found this place, and that I can be 100% safe (from virus) in an exciting studio that inspires me to be my creative best. This is a place that gives me real joy, at a time when joy is badly needed. I get excited for my studio days. In this important time, it's reassuring for me to see how public health and safety is just built in, and it works. I'm happy to make an appointment in advance for the hours that I'll work, masked and distanced in a huge studio with only a few folks there. The owner, Lucy (with assistants), sanitize the place thoroughly, carefully, and often. She takes it very seriously and I know I'm safe when I'm there. Following the quarantine long ago, when everything seemed shut down and silent, I found MVPS and it changed my life entirely. It had been YEARS since I had my hands in clay. And, I explored hand-building pieces and a return to the potter's wheel, which challenges me every time. I love it. Everything I need is there; clay, wheels, and tools, and glazes. And, expert help from fun people. Of course, there are several kilns so I never have to wait more than a weekend, and finished works are waiting on the shelves. I didn't know that working with clay could bring so much happiness to my life. It feels great to find a place to explore my new obsession.”

“My experience with this seller was OUTSTANDING in all regards: product quality, timeliness, and especially communication. My wife purchased a framed mountain bike destination map from them (as an Xmas gift for me) and it is very well designed - and looks TOTALLY COOL! I will be able to use the included pins to mark off destinations as completed. I saw a few maps online that allow you to check off destinations, but none that were specific to mountain biking besides this one. Also, there was a small issue with the order and they worked immediately to get it corrected. VERY happy with the end result and with this seller. Would highly recommend.”

“Beautiful gallery featuring local artists. Note that there is more art downstairs than just in the street level gallery!I was walking by when I saw the current photography exhibit ‘Photographic Essence’ in the main gallery. I went in to check it out. It is very nicely curated collection of black and white photographs.I wasn’t aware that there are artists’ studios downstairs! There is lot more to see in artists’ studios and hallways. Make sure you check it out!!”

“Attended my friends wedding. She had a haunted house, dark, scary theme going on and it was a really good fit. Super low budget wedding but a cool building. All the background people were really background I don't think I ever saw a single venue manager roaming around or bothering anyone.”

“I love this place if I have extra time before a movie or between dinner and a movie to come and check out their expensive book collection new and used for sale. They have books on every type of religion known to man As well as carry things like smudge sticks incense, music just an all-around wonderful beautiful vibe in this place.”

“Jim is an amazing guy and he does absolutely stellar work. He is a total pro and you can rest assured that your piece will be handled with the utmost care, fit for display in a museum. He has a great eye and great taste for the perfect frame. I love hearing all of the wonderful stories from his life, and seeing the interesting pieces that happen to be in the shop whenever I visit. It's a long drive from where I live, but it is always worth it! His apprentice Quinn clearly has the passion and talent for the work, and I am excited to see what the future holds for him. I am so glad that Zoltron recommended this shop to me many years ago, I have taken every piece here since. I look forward to a lifetime of enjoyment appreciating the art that adorns my walls, so carefully preserved by Jim and his shop.”

“We've recently had two paintings framed by Painters Place and are delighted. Their helpful advice when selecting the mat and frame worked out beautifully and the promised completion date was met. When I called to confirm the completion date, they called back within the hour with the status. But our experience goes back many years. We first learned of the Painters Place from my wife's mother who had many pieces of art framed by them over 20 years ago. Thank you Painters Place!”
