| - This is one of my favorite galleries in Scottsdale. There are several great artists represented, with my personal favorite being the owner. She is an immensely talented artist, and a truly gracious woman, if you show genuine interest and are gracious yourself. We are fortunate enough to own a couple of her paintings, and I hope to add more to our collection. I still get a thrill every time I view her paintings.
As to the negative comments, no gallery I'm aware of allows you to take photographs without asking permission, and sometimes not even then. Even many museums have a ban on photographs. You need to respect the fact that works of art are the property of the artist and/or gallery, not public property. It is simply basic courtesy to ask before you take a photo of someone else's property. And really, the person who let her dearly loved elderly dog out the door is surprised that the owner would get upset? The dog is sadly now departed, but I'd seen it around the time of that review. It was quite elderly, certainly not spry. So I do think it would have taken some carelessness to let it out. It was wonderful of that reviewer to help catch the dog, but understandable that the owner would have been emotional.
