Amazing customer service with a personal touch that helped us acquire the perfect work of art.
We instantly fell in love with a large W.B. Thompson painting in Trowbridge Gallery. Unfortunately, the painting was out of our price range. The gallery owner, Danna, contacted the artist (who works in the Virgin Islands) on our behalf and commissioned an original work of art that not only was comfortably within our price range, but was the exact size, color, and subject that we desired. We received the painting in less than three weeks in perfect condition.
We are so grateful for Danna and the Trowbridge Gallery. Never in our wildest dreams did we think we would/could commission a work of art! The process was effortless and exciting with no hidden costs or catches. The result was a beautiful, truly one of a kind painting with a wonderful story that makes the art even more special.

We stopped by this nice little gallery while visiting the quaint town of Ojai, for our anniversary. We were greeted by Danna, who was friendly, informative and very helpful. She took her time with us, had a lot of knowledge about the artist we were interested in and was not at all pushy! We ended up going back the next day and purchased three pieces of art from her. She actually framed our art work personally and took great care in that process. Next time we are in Ojai, we will definitely return!

Carefully selected art work, including sculptures by James Menzel-Joseph, draws you into the Trowbridge Gallery. Danna Tartaglia, new owner, welcomes you and makes your visit so enjoyable you'll want to return often. I am a wildlife artist from Montana. I did not come back home empty-handed. I purchased two of Danna's beautiful horse paintings. I think of them as my motion and e-motion depictions of that marvelous creature.

Definitely visit the Trowbridge Gallery and you won't be disappointed. Danna, the owner and an artist herself, is charming and genuinely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about art. This is not a "tourist town" art gallery but rather a very well curated selection of fine art by well known artists, featuring many from the surrounding area. I had been visiting galleries for years waiting to find that "right" piece and there it was! Danna made the whole experience a delight (no pressure or attitude) and I can't wait to return!

I highly recommend this gallery for the art lover. Danna Tartaglia did a excellent job helping me to commission a painting done by an artist on the east coast. She communicated with the artist, kept the job going in a timely manner, and helped to get the painting shipped, stretched, and framed. During the whole process she was pleasant, prompt, and courteous. I was thrilled with my painting, and happy to have done business with such a fine gallery. I'll definitely do business here again!

This is the best gallery I have seen anywhere in Ojai; Almost all of the works are first rate and I would recommend you visit Tartaglia Fine Art before visiting any other galleries. It is right on the main drag, very easy to find, and the owner is an artist herself which enables her to speak intelligently about all the artwork. It is a MUST SEE when you are in Ojai.

This gallery is one of my regular stops to check new art pieces as well as new and/or local talent. Danna, the owner and an artist herself, is a delight to visit with and a knowledgeable source of information. I highly recommend it!

Please take a moment when in Ojai to view Danna Tartaglia's collection of some fine artists' works, many of them are local. Ojai has been an artists' retreat for decades and Tartaglia follows these traditions. I particularly like Steve Curry's interpretations of classic California landscapes, but there are other artists and subject matters which appeal to a wide variety of mostly representational artworks. Danna is well informed and welcoming. So: delightful art, welcoming director and a comfortable environment to view the art - what more could one ask for in an Art Gallery!

This is an outstanding gallery with a wide variety of art -- sculpture, oil, acrylic and even jewelry. The owner has an excellent eye and continues to find new, exciting artists. Whenever we're in Ojai, it's a treat to stop by.
