They had exactly what I needed. Starter set of acrylics, plenty of brushes (dollar brush bin there!), all sorts of canvas and easels, paint pallets, and more! This is going to be my new art supply store :)

Great selection for such a small shop. The owner is super nice and knowledgeable. She's made some fantastic recommendations.

Great little art supply and framing store. Not a ton of stock, but will have just about all the standard paints, clay, markers, and basic materials you need.

I took a 5x5 canvas to be framed. She put a few frame styles on the table for me to select and I did. She did not offer any suggestions about how to make this look nice or what frame would work best. She said it'd be a 10 day turn around. When I picked up the framed art the inside of the frame had 2 or 3 spots of very dark spots right above the frame and on the sides where it distracted from the art itself. She offered to paint that over. I agreed trusting her judgement In hindsight I should have said order a new frame but since it had been 10 days from the original order I didn't feel I could wait another 10 days to meet my friend with her Christmas gift. From Friday to Monday I came back, and the work was deplorable she used a crayon or craypas and smudged it over. I ran my finger and it comes off. She smudges it over with her finger. I take it home and in daylight it looks like a 10 year old did this. Her shop has artificial light so it looked better. I came back to tell her it was not goiing to work and she exploded. Said I was abusing her by telling her it was not looking ok. She did not offered anything else besides getting another frame, which she could have said before, or a refund. When I attempted to tell her how dissappointed I was that I could not meet my friend on Thursday 12/14, she kept getting escalated and started to talk to someone on the phone saying she couldn't understand why I wasn't leaving and that she was calling the police. I went to my car to get my credit card and she continues to be escalated telling me how busy she was and that I should have known to either ask for different frame of a refund to begin with. She issues a refund and contnues to be extremely out of.control saying unless I leave she'll call the police, again ! I am just staring at her and she again says, I don't understand why she's not leaving, my jaw is open and I say: Im in disbelief about what is happening, and again she talks on the phone giving.my description to someone on the other side about my approximate age and color hair.... WOW !! Never went to this place so I don't even know if she does great work, but definitely she is not capable of hearing that the customer is appropriately dissatisfied. She is going to want you to be totally happy or take whatever she gives you or she'll have a VERY strong reaction. Buyer beware... :((
