We loved this gallery more than any we visited on Canyon Road. Paul’s art is original, engaging, and ranges from easy to carry small works to giant mural sized pieces. The colors and textures are unlike anything I have seen, because he makes his own pigments and plasters. These are not paints bought from an art supply store. He mixes mica, sand, turquoise and even gold, diamonds and fluorescent materials into his works. You must see it in person to appreciate what his lifetime of experience brings to his pieces.

What an absolutely incredible experience. I can not begin to explain the depth of Paul’s pieces, combined with experiencing them on such a unique property. I can try my best to use words explaining what these pieces look like, but I could not begin to explain what it feels like to see, and participate in the tour. I don’t want to spoil it… If you are considering booking or buying, I can not express anything other than DO IT!

The gallery tour is an amazing experience. We didn't only look at beautiful paintings, we experienced them!!! As they transform right before your eyes under darkness as the lights go out and parts of the paintings glow mysteriously. Or under ultra violet light with another whole new look. Then put on the 3D glasses and do it all over again. Wow!!! I have two of Paul's pieces of art. Close ups pictured here but, the pics don't do them justice. Plus, the gardens, architecture and you get to meet Paul Seftel, the artist, who is very well rounded, knowledgeable in many things not just art. This was a refreshing time and well worth the visit.
