Art for Wildlife Galleries

It was a pleasure doing business with Tom. He is very professional, kind, patient and informative on every question and doubts that I had about the Kitty Cantrell‘s Destiny piece that I purchased. He was very honest and exact on describing the piece, since we only had one photo to go by. He made me feel at ease. From the time of placing the order to the time of delivery, Tom kept me updated on every step. Now that we have received it, we are extremely happy and I have to say that it was exactly how he described it to us. Thank you Tom for everything!

Purchased 2 beautiful pieces made by D. Wanner. Arrived as planned and packed very well for shipping. Artforwildlife kept me informed the entire process and ensured everything was top-notch. Would recommend both the artist and gallery.

Tom is a delight to work with. From the moment I initially got in touch with him regarding a sculpture, to the delivery in central Scotland, Tom was on top of things all the way. I could not recommend this company and Tom any more than to award 5 stars and to actually write a review, something I seldom do. You will not be disappointed in using this company.

They deserve so very much more than 5 stars! They checked and rechecked on my order and made sure that it arrived undamaged and was up to my expectations! They are a wonderful customer service based company! Knowledgeable, courteous and so wonderful to work with. I can’t wait until I order my next piece from them!

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 legacy that day.

On a recent visit to San Diego I purchased a wonderful piece of artwork for my home in Nevada. The sales team were all friendly and helpful. Since I flew to San Diego the salesman offered to ship a fresh piece directly from the artist is Portland. Unfortunately the piece never made it to me. The sign of great customer support is not really about the sale but is about how they handle the follow through - especially when there is a problem. Well Tom, the owner, was incredible. He first tried to understand what could have gone wrong in shipping the artwork to me - and when unresolved said that he would order a new piece from the artist and get it to me. I am a very satisfied customer and will certainly visit them again on my next trip to San Diego. Thank you Tom and all of your team

My husband and I return to San Diego often for vacation, and always make a point to visit Art for Wildlife Gallery. We enjoy the variety of art, and have purchased several pieces. They are pieces that always draw the attention of guests in our home, and ones that we enjoy as much several years later as we did the day we purchased them. And you won’t find better customer service!

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 Galleries "!

This gallery was the highlight of my visit to Coronado! The art was a wonderful variety of items ranging from brightly colored paintings, to glass starfish and jellyfish, to driftwood animals, to recycled metal sculptures. The folks that own and work at this place are so friendly. They even shipped something to me in New Hampshire after I got back home from my visit there. This is a must-see destination in Coronado!

Art for Wildlife Galleries found a Brian Arthur sculpture I wanted. It arrived beautifully packed with specific instructions on how to unpack and care for it - including a bottle of the recommended cleaning agent. Truly a five star experience.

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 the gallery.

I don't make a habit of reviewing everything. But I was honestly impressed enough with in a these guys to make a point of giving them a good review. They were professional, courteous,and knowledgeable, and just went the extra we mile to deserve it, pulling off all of the above in a casual, personable way. It would be a more enjoyable world if we were treated that way everywhere. Thanks, Jonathan!

Have bought several pieces and have been very happy!

I never do critiques- this is my exception. Art for Wildlife is exceptional- much to choose from; priced right; very happy with my three selections- all very different and of the highest quality.
