Riley Arts Gallery — Attraction in Manhattan Beach

Stumbled into this gallery four years ago while strolling along Manhattan Ave killing some time. And then again this past Wednesday afternoon. Would I remember from so many years ago? Yup. The location and its ambassador(s)Kim & Kelly would be difficult (and a shame ) to forget. Little did I know that while killing time I was also being renewed, in a sense, a sense of wonder at some fabulous visual pieces that catches the eye and triggers the smile. the gallery hold items small enough to adorn your desk to framed prints that can adorn your walls (in any room). You'll know the perfect print for the perfect room when you see it - and there is a LOT to see. This recent visit I was honoured to be privy-ed to "look over the shoulder", of what was obviously a loyal customer (friend). Kim revealing some recent purchases that had just come in with discussions to final preparations. What a wealth of knowledge! But not just a "telling" of what would be done, but more importantly, a discussion with the client, illustrating the many options available; creating the right look and feel for the final destinations. Always providing information so that the Client could share his thoughts and needs and make the right decision for HIM. No up-sell. No false sense of urgency. Just a text-book-example of REAL Customer Service (more listening than speaking). What a privilege. If you get the opportunity to explore Riley Art Gallery you MAY walk out having purchased a piece that makes you smile but you WILL walk out having discovered more; knowing more and, happily, wanting more (trips to come and visit again)....

I have been fortunate to use the services and expertise of both Kim and Kelly at Riley Art. From the first simple purchase of selecting a completed piece hanging in their showroom, to the challenging and fun task of selecting 5 pieces that Kim patiently searched, located, advised ( and educated myself on the selections ) and flawlessly framed, matted and had delivered.

Thx you both for your patience, providing your experience and knowledge in assisting in the selection of the amazing pieces I now showcase in my home.

Thx...

Kim worked on some personal framing for me and my family, taking care of very special memories and photographs and immortalised them into some beautiful frames we will cherish forever.

We actually moved internationally before the framing was complete and she was so accommodating, helping us with the packing and shipping which required a lot of patience and kindness!

11/10 experience with Riley...
