This place is such a gem! I can’t believe I never went in until now. It’s a great neighborhood shop with very good selection. I came in to get some beginner oil painting supplies and the shop owner was really informative. She helped me find all the supplies I needed and suggested items suitable for a beginner. I like that she recommended student grade items to get me started! Reasonable prices too! I definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area or even if you’re not, it’s worth driving to. definitely will come back someday

Love this trove of art supplies! It's surprising how much they have in this little mom n pop place. Visited for the first time and got what I needed and the employee at the counter was very helpful. Tons of supplies for painting, plenty for linocut, calligraphy, and even some things for miniature building! The upstairs area with stunning handmade paper is a gem too.

Excellent experience from start to finish. The customer service is outstanding, and the product selection is high-quality and well-curated. She was knowledgeable about different art techniques and materials, and they offered helpful guidance without being pushy. A fantastic place for both beginners and experienced artists.
