Artists & Artisans in Melville.

“I have a number of Rivka Fuch's works and am thrilled with them all. My personal favorite is a photographic piece that is a close-up shot of the Western Wall in Jerusalem. It is absolutely breathtaking and very powerful. The two other pieces are small watercolors which add so much to my decor. Rivka's works are creative, impactful, thought provoking and meaningful.”

“Arlene is the full package. She is not only professional but personable as well. She is a no none sense artist that is as creative as she is dedicated. She is the type that nails the deadlines and always goes above and beyond. A true asset to any project.”

“Robin is amazing! Not only is she extremely creative and talented, but she is organized, professional, and gets the work done in the timeline she says she will. Robin is a pleasure to work with; I have used her in both residential and commercial jobs and highly recommend her for both!”

“As an interior designer, I collaborated with Sorelle Gallery on a designer vignette at their New Canaan location. Their knowledgable staff helped me choose some beautiful pieces from their extensive collection for my design. Sandra and her team at Sorelle Gallery are accommodating, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Sorelle Gallery is a go to source for fine art.”

“Sorelle Gallery in Albany, New York is fortunate to carry Julia's original paintings. Her work is very well received by both abstract and contemporary collectors.”

“Bob and his master woodworkers designed and constructed a dining table for the window seating area in my home. I gave them a tear sheet of a picture I loved and they made it exactly to the feeling and look of the inspiration photo. They were easy to work with, kept me informed and delivered a spectacular product at a very reasonable custom price! Great product and knowledge from this team!”

“Beautiful Venetian plaster walls in my bathroom. Highly recommend this extremely talented artist whose meticulous work and innovative designs have graced the walls of two of my husband's restaurants and now our apartment. Olivie Ponce is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with.”

“What I Wrote below for my initial recommendation is very different to what I'm going to write now. Gert Mathiesen passed away suddenly last week - A big hole now resides in our hearts. Since I heard the news this morning of the passing of Gert, I can’t get it out of my mind – the thought that he knew something most of us don’t. You see… he walked around every day being happy. ‘Just happy. This man did not waste energy on negative thoughts or emotions. It was as if each day was precious – because it was. He must have instinctively known this. So what did he do with his emotions? He made drawings and paintings. Boy, did he! Imagery and colors that insisted to be looked at…one could never ignore them. When I first met his wife Pam, I thought her art was the most colorful, vibrant and happy pieces I’d ever seen…until I saw Gert’s work. It was as if the colors he laid on the paper and canvas were saying…”Whatchu lookin’ at fool? You act like you nevah seen colors as bright as this before! Well, I’m here to tell ya these colors exist in nature and I’m putting ‘em right here before your eyeballs just because I can…and because I’m not afraid to. This was one of the good guys taken too soon. While the world and those who knew him lost the vibrant and singular works he would have surely created down the road, there is still the treasure trove of work that Gert has already made. It represents effervescence, optimism and the zest for life that this man had and now gives us back through his works. Gert, I’ll have a little brighter smile just from knowing you. Rest easy up there. These artists have a highly developed sense of composition and color. They are also very easy to work with and will create a custom piece for the same price point (determined by size and medium) as they sell their existing piece for. Spaces come to life with the addition of their art.”

“B. Russell Art has been supplying my clients with art for over 10 years. Russell's wood cuts have a unique texture to them that fit well in both contemporary and rustic settings. Her more recent abstracts have gone into many New York City condos, I have worked on. Her latest "Nudes" series are very exciting and I am looking to place them in many of my future designs. Russell also has been commissioned by my clients to create art suited for their own environments. She is very flexible and listens well to the voice of my clients. I am a NYC interior designer”

“I have been most fortunate to have had two exhibits of my oil paintings at transFORM GALLERY in their New Rochelle, NY showroom within the past two years. The beautiful cabinetry and room layouts enhanced my art work and I hope that my paintings also did the same for transFORM. The incredible staff and owners are welcoming, knowledgeable, experienced in so many areas and highly professional. I must single out Kara O'Neill, Design Strategist, who not only helped select the paintings and what went where, but helped me in every way possible. I also must commend Donovan Malloy, Media and Public Relations, for publicizing and promoting the exhibit.”
