Blue Moon Gallery

A man I know was really super excited to show me his latest discovery of what he felt was an awesome art gallery. So we hopped in his truck and drove to a bunch of cruddy looking buildings in a semi-​industrial neighborhood. As we turned down the alley behind said cruddy buildings everything transformed. There was a beautiful gate with a cute dog behind it. Standing in the courtyard was a woman — the gallery owner, Carol. She welcomed us as if we were old friends coming to her home.
The gallery isn’t huge, but no space is wasted. Every wall is covered with the talents of many wonderful artists. Art hangs from the ceiling, there are shelves full of sculpture and cases with ceramics bits and handmade jewelery. Currently she is showing paper artists in the main room and there were some amazing pieces in there. My favorite was this gorgeous paper fish suspended near the entrance.
Regarding the purchase prices (for those interested in more than just viewing) I saw pieces at $ 40 and some at $ 1500. They were all lovely and I challenge the art collectors to walk out empty handed.
I have been in galleries with much less to offer where the owners/​staff were big jerky snobs. This was not the case at Blue Moon. I felt so welcome here. Carol was a lovely woman. She seemed to love to talk about art and life and the pursuit of happiness. I really enjoyed her. She even gave me peanuts and candy. hehe
