Reviewed By terryh659 - Seattle, United States

We have been fans of Melissa Morgan's Fine Art Gallery for some time. They are always welcoming whenever we visit. This time Melissa herself was there (with Kyle as the 'greeter') and we had a terrific conversation with the two of them. Since our last visit, the gallery has moved to a more central address on El Paseo and even has another site more suited for sculptures (perhaps our favorite form of artistic expression). This is one of our two favorite galleries in the desert and we look forward to seeing more works from their very talented artists.
