Art for Wildlife Galleries — Attraction in Coronado

Bought a very beautiful Donnie Wanner sculpture. It just takes your breathe away! Ended up purchasing 2 more sculptures by the same artist. Owner Tom was great in ensuring I got what I wanted. He is also contacting the artist to create 2 more pieces for me. Tom made sure the purchase went smoothly and took it a step further and had Johnathan deliver and hang my sculpture at my home since it was such a large piece! Jonathan was great and very knowledgeable. He was able to hang my sculpture with ease and professionalism. He showed me how to best display my art piece, proper lighting, and how to clean when necessary. Owner and staff deserve more than 5 stars! They go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. Communication and follow up is amazing! Can't wait to receive the other sculptures from artist, Donnie Wanner. If you haven't seen his work, you should Google his name. The pictures online are beautiful, but the sculptures are 10x more gorgeous in person. Family and friends who come to my home just stare in awe at my "Cascade Lakes". I already have 2 more places picked out in my house for the 2 other pieces. I can't hardly wait. Everything in the gallery is beautiful and the quality is outstanding! I am obviously now hooked on Donnie Wanner art. I know I will be buying and collecting more of his art. Truly, it is very beautiful, soothing and makes me smile inside and out. Can you guess I like his art. While I don't know the artist, I know I can contact gallery owner Tom, and he can contact the artist and get the piece I want (if still available). This artist has very small editions and makes everything individually and by hand. Also, if you are lucky, you can find some of the pieces on the wall in the gallery, but I am sure they sell quickly. But, be sure to check with Tom and he will do everything he can to get you what you want. Wow, I sound like a commercial. Truly, I usually don't feel compelled to write reviews. However, I am just so happy with my purchase, every aspect and detail were attended to. You don't see or experience such wonderful customer service anymore. So, it is memorable when you finally receive it. Please visit the gallery if you can or even call. Like I wrote above, if you see something online, such as Donnie Wanner's sculptures, call Tom, and perhaps, if he does not have what you want in his gallery, he can contact the artist himself and get what you want. Well, that was long-winded. But these people deserve the praise. Well done "Art for Wildlife...

Where does one begin to explain an experience of excellence! I visited Art for Wildlife three years ago on Coronado Island. My husband and I fell in love with the art from Rick Satava. We did not purchase that day and had regretted it often over the past three years. I went back to San Diego in July and my quest was to purchase a piece of art by Mr. Satava. I was sad to see that the Art Gallery was closed. My daughter said "It's not over Mom" and she began asking around. We ended up getting Tom's number the owner of Art for Wildlife. We called and the next hour was when the excellence came to life. Tom met us in front of his closed gallery, brought pieces to show, helped us order online to save money and get quality shipping. It is an honor to have purchased art from Rick Satava, but it was more of an honor to meet Tom. He was genuine, kind, and went out of his way to make my quest a huge success. On top of my purchase, Tom gave me a starfish as a gift. I was blown away by his constant effort to make my dream come true that day. When we left our meeting, my daughter told me she would never forget Tom and his kindness....this is a person who left a...

While browsing inside the gallery, I came upon a purple & orange (my 2 favorite colors) Chihuahua Alebrijes Oxacan woodcarving, and having a chihuahua, immediately fell in love with it!

When I got back to where I was staying, I noticed there was a small chip on the foot and immediately called the gallery. Jonathan, my sales associate, couldn’t have been more pleasant. I took the piece back the next day, a Sunday, and and we agreed repairs would be made before I was to leave on Wednesday. I got a call late Monday afternoon that repairs were finished & I could come pick it up at anytime.

I met the gallery owner Tuesday morning and he couldn’t have been more pleasant. The bottom line at the end of the day, my being happy was the most important thing to them... I look forward to my next visit to...
