Aaron Chang Ocean Art Gallery — Attraction in Solana Beach

A group of friends and I stumbled upon this art gallery on a Tuesday & the strikingly beautiful nature photography caught our eye - we ended up having the pleasure of meeting Aaron Chang himself, who walked us through his work as well as his life story. He shared the backstories for a few of his most iconic photographs, including the one of the lion (you’ll know which one I’m talking about). As a group of young recent college graduates, he inspired us with his stories about his travel adventures & extensive career. His work is distinctive and awe-inspiring, and we hope to come back and purchase a work of art...

Walking into Aaron Chang's gallery is a truly mesmerizing experience.

But, as I'm no art aficionado, it was also an overwhelming one, as my wife and I were looking for a piece for our living room, and there are so many can't miss choices!

Kristina, who works at the gallery, was so nice, authentic, and thoughtful, and took the time to show us around, give us background stories on all of the amazing pieces, and helped us pick out the perfect one: Flight.

I don't know which one we would've picked without her guidance, but I know we made the right pick and we can't wait to see it...

Very glad that my family and I wandered into this establishment. So much beautiful wood to look at! There are so many eye-catching wooden sculptures and treatments of natural wood. They have beautiful, huge slabs of wood that are so easy to imagine as awe-inspiring dining tables! There are a few rooms of art as well as a large upstairs just crammed full of wood and art and furniture. I could have spent much more time looking...
