My wife wanted, no she needed to visit the gallery. So to San Francisco we stopped by. She wanted to buy a piece of art, not an original, they are expensive, but i gave her a beautiful print instead. Happy wife. Also bought a book for her. Service was perfect, the lady took her time and showed us all the prints before we made our choice, Champagne was offered to us also.
This review is based on my experience today while browsing Daniel Merriam's new collection, Cloud Nine and Beyond online. The curator, Lauren, offered to do a FaceTime with me so I could see some of the works live. I live over 12 hours away so it's not possible for me to visit this amazing new collection. She was so sweet to work with and showed me these beautiful pieces. Dry Dock was my absolute favorite! The variety of themes and scale were so impressive. The colors are absolutely stunning! Daniel's work is some of the most exquisite art I've ever seen. I love it so much! So magical and intriguing! I'm very grateful for my personalized gallery tour via technology today! I've been to this gallery in person as well and find it very charming. If you are ever in Sausalito, I highly recommend a visit!
Love the imaginative and jewel-toned paintings of Daniel Merriam! I found this gem just before leaving Sausalito and couldn’t leave without at least purchasing an art book. The originals and prints are all very reasonably priced. I’m surprised by the low ratings and comments about the gallery curator. Lauren was nothing but gracious and helpful; we had a nice conversation about the artist’s process and art in general. Perhaps it was a different woman from before. Anyway, this is definitely worth a stop regardless. Even if you are on a budget there are some lovely gift items for sale.
Great art honestly. Very unique and the pieces seem to transmit a mood or emotion is the best way I could explain it. I actually started looking online about a purchase because I just refuse to walk in that store agin with that woman working there. Very insulting, she didn't even really allow me and my gf to browse. Seemed almost to be directing us to what she wanted us to buy while taking little digs at us while I struggled to find casual conversation. Left in a hurry. Side note she was arguing with 2 women who were on their way out as we were walked in lol. This lady must have dirt on the owner or be a relative or something because if the business was interested purely in sales, she'd have been out of there a long time ago.
Amazing art however owner was incredibly rude and arrogant to guests. I liked an art piece of hers, so as any passionate person would I took my phone out to snap a photo not knowing or seeing anything wrong with it and instead of addressing me directly and privately in an understanding manner, she publicly shamed me for not paying attention to her 2 inch sign at the back that says no photography. I apologized and felt so horrible, it was an honest mistake and I don’t go to galleries often. She then spoke rudely of me to other guests quite loudly while I was still in the building. Again, cool art, but the gallery agent simply isn’t worth it. My friend that I went with also mentioned she had a negative encounter with the same woman a few months prior. It’s a shame such a rude person is working at a gallery showcasing such beautiful art. She’s really costing the business.
I went here and fell in love with the art. I was trying to decide between two pieces, but the woman curating the gallery was so offensive and rude we left. She kept grabbing my sweater and touching my person. She accosted me and told me if I was so willing to spend money on clothes and purses that I surely must have ruined my priorities somewhere down the line if I planned on leaving the gallery without art. I told her we would get her if we had any questions, we were trying to admire the art and make a very expensive decision. But she would not leave us alone, and then started berating me for my designer purse. "Are you going to put that in a frame on your wall? What are your morals if you're going to spend on that and not on art." She was overly aggressive, assertive, and off putting. I finally told her the purse was my late mothers, who's now passed away. And I would appreciate her backing off. We left. After reading the comments and other reviews for this gallery, it seems as though this has been an on going and expensive liability for the gallery. Shame, because I know it cost them a few thousand dollars today alone.
Extremely arrogant and rude woman who worked here! She was not in the gallery when we came in and she ignored us when we greeted her and yelled at me for taking a mask that was on the table for guests to use. As i politely mentioned to her, i wanted to double mask for my safety and others but she continued being disrespectful so we left because it was embarrassing. What a shame since the art is beautiful but its hard to appreciate when someone so ill mannered is working there.... Never visiting again and would not recommend to anyone i know.
I had a similar experience to Raj who posted about a year ago. I went into the gallery today and the woman there pretty much told me the art there was too expensive for me. I thought I misunderstood her at first... How this started was I asked her for the gallery's business card and then she said "you do know this work starts at $1,000, you won't be finding anything cheaper than that." I was a confused what that had to do with anything and she hesitated and said "where do you live?" I told her San Francisco and she goes "oh okay, here's a card." Then she asked me if I was also an artist, I said yes I was, then she turned to an older couple standing near us who had called in to come see the gallery and had an appointment with her and she said "yes, you'd think other artists understand the value of a good art work but surprisingly that doesn't always happen" and then turned back to me to continue the conversation. I hadn't said anything to this lady other than the artist had incredible vision. I just don't understand why she had to act that way... My husband and I were genuinely interested in the work, and not the $1,000 dollar prints she pretty much said we couldn't afford, but one of the originals hanging in the gallery, for the new house we just bought in San Francisco. I sincerely hope that Daniel realizes who he is staffing and sees how they are driving business away.
I loved my visit to Bubble Street Gallery. The art on the walls were all quite magical and inspiring to me! As a fantasy artist myself I love finding a fantasy/surrealism artist who can so skillfully create magical worlds for the viewer to fully enjoy. I even got to meet the artist Daniel Merriam while at the gallery! I highly recommend this gallery to any person who loves fantasy and surrealism. When you are in Sausalito, CA be sure to visit!
I was delighted by the artist's work and decided to purchase his book and a puzzle as a gift for a friend. I stood by the register, waiting to pay, but instead of saying, "I'll be with you in a moment," the gallery agent fussed at me about not taking pictures and turned back to the gentleman she was trying to convince to purchase something far more expensive. I was completely taken aback, as I was simply looking at my phone while waiting for her. That was unspeakably rude. Needless to say, I put the items back and walked out. I was going to refer Mr. Merriam's work to a friend back in Scottsdale, but now? Hell no. One more thing: she lied to me about being able to purchase certain items online. I guess she wanted credit for the sale? How tacky.
