Love this art shop! Milena Filipova is an incredibly talented artist and fantastic to work with. I’ve commissioned two large paintings from her — one is a family portrait (which I gifted to my parents), and one the attached pet portrait. I love how Milena brings her subjects to life in a way that transcends the original reference photos… the painting of my pets is nothing short of magical, and I hung it in a spot where I can look at it every day 😍. Oh, and Milena did the framing too! We talked through what kind of vibe I wanted (bright and airy, since my living room has a huge bay window with a lot of natural light), and I couldn’t be happier with how the frames painting brightened up my place. I’ve also bought miscellaneous baubles from the shop — wine glasses, jewelry, etc. — because I love Milena’s elegant yet quirky style.
Oh, and did I mention that Milena is super nice? I know nothing about art and she’s always super helpful and patient.

I have 3 different sets of glassware, which I use (not just for decoration). My mother has some of her smaller artwork. It is both an investment and decor for your home. If you love art and pretty things, this is a pretty boutique. I especially love that this boutique serves the community. I have seen the postman, local vendors and neighbors shop here I love how the community supports its local businesses. She also offers one-to-one art lessons. However, she gets busy at times, so try to catch her when she is not, she has taught me so much about art, and is quite informative & bubbly. We need more unique businesses like this. And remember, beautiful art makes a great gift. I am now "eye-ing" the...
Read moreLike most folks who've written reviews for this place, I discovered it while casually strolling in the neighborhood. This is a cute little art boutique located right in the centre of Paulus Hook.
Most of the paintings in here are truly beautiful and they do have other accessories such as decorated glasses as well if you're looking to pick up a handcrafted gift or something . The lady who showed us around was really polite and nice to talk to.
Of late, I've noticed that they do take art lessons for kids and adults as well.
