    The stone-carvings art on display at this gallery is a testament to human craftsmanship. Very unique and collectible pieces like fountain pens in crystals and Ruby skull. I recommend this place 👌🏼

    If you love California impressionist, plain air painting this is THE gallery to learn more about it. The association has a storied history with a number of books for purchase that highlight the history as well as good reproductions of notable painters over the past 90 years of the gallery’s existence. My husband and I were happy with the friendly reception we received there. The staff is happy to answer questions and educate their visitors. We joined the association to support this organization and we bought a lovely small oil from a well known local artist.

    We returned to see the very good photograhy art at the Weston Galley in the downtown Carmel area. This area has several amazing art galleries to explore.

    I actually had a business relationship with prior owners of this gallery space, and always look inside to see what is going on during different time periods. The artist's prime income appears to be for funded commissions in municipal places, although smaller pieces are available for purchase. The educational displays of how the bronze casting is accomplished are very educational. The artist's wife was there during our visit, and was very hospitable.

    There are two galleries next to one another. They represent living artists and with a lot of variety. The artwork is amazing and the staff very helpful and patient.

    We went to Dawson Cole Fine Art. The sculpture pieces are done based on real people. I was in particularly intrigued with the Cirque du Soleil piece. I spoke to the staff at the art gallery and she told me all about the piece.

    This art work is amazing to see. It would be nice to own such amazing art.

    There are so many wonderful galleries in Carmel how can you choose? Well you do not have to this gallery has a wide variety of artists and styles. So if you don’t like one artist take about three steps and you will find another. Enjoy!

    We wondered in and really felt like we had found something special. An excellent selection of works and artists in various media, more museum like than gallery. There was no heavy sales push, just an offer to provide information and help if needed. Diane Smiley assisted us, in both locations. She allowed us to see the lower level display room at the San Carlos St. location (there are 2 locations in town). WOW, some amazing works in the Great Master's style.
    If you desire quality original fine art from a gallery with great service and respectful, knowledgeable staff then this is a place for you. Even if you are not in the market just viewing what they have here is fun and a great way to enjoy fine art--but, be prepared that you may just fall in love with something to take home.

    Nancy Dodds Gallery has a great selection of various mediums by several artists. The owner has a very good eye for the many styles of art we like and the prices were very reasonable.

    We enjoyed seeing the art at Winfield Gallery in Carmel. The gallery was founded in 1989 by Christopher Winfield. It specializes in contemporary art. Art forms include paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, and photos.
