Even for a person like me that knows nothing about art I had an enjoyable time. Almost everything caught my attention if even for a brief period of time. Staff was welcoming and pleasant. It is definitely a destination location.

Laurie Martell at Madaras Gallery is AMAZING! Extremely helpful and professional. Refreshing these days. I am an Interior Designer and recently purchased one of Diana Madaras canvases for a clients home. Its stunning! What I like most is it is in the entrance to their home however, I placed a mirror on the opposite wall so you can see the beauty of the painting while your in the rest of the house! Its truly a wonderful setting! Thank you to Laurie and Diana for helping me make my clients dreams come true!

I’ve shopped at Madaras Gallery several times and it’s always a wonderful experience. The staff is great! I really like looking at all the beautiful pieces. I most recently got my mother-in-law a beautiful box with a hummingbird on it for her 90th birthday and she loved it. My goal is to someday get a great Southwest piece to go over my couch. So much to choose from and they’re all amazing. If you love Southwest art this is the place.

This gallery has a variety of artists displaying paintings, sculptures, etc. with a variety of techniques, so there should be something to appeal to anyone’s taste. I like to not only admire the art, but also find beautiful gifts!

I must love Diana’s work—I have 5 or 6 pieces in my home! Her use of vibrant colors to depict life in a sometimes drab desert is amazing. Thank you Diana for sharing your beautiful gift.

Have always had extremely wonderful experiences both by phone or personally at the Gallery. Everyone is very knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Also, the Gallery is a great place to shop for both big and small gifts, and an opportunity to be surrounded and lost in the beauty of all the many paintings.

I ordered 3 prints recently and they are beautiful! One had to be specially printed for me, but I got an email letting me know of the slight delay. The prints were shipped out quickly once the print was done and everything arrived in prefect condition. Framed up and looking great on my office walls. Many thanks!

Such a beautiful gallery full of beautiful pieces. We were in to get a Tucson gift for a friend who recently moved to Kansas. We went to another gallery, and then thought, whats more Tucson than Madaras! With the knowledgeable help of the saleswomen there, we chose 3 stunning Tucson tiles. They packaged and shipped them for us, and all made it safe and sound. Oh, and btw, the friend LOVES them!

First visited many years ago when our son and his wife moved to Tucson. I have shopped in the gallery and on-line - I live in Virginia. Both experiences have been outstanding. Recently purchased early Christmas gifts at the Gallery and had my son pick them up. Of course they peeked! And loved their early gifts.

Madaras’ work is always exquisite. Every new collection blows me away. I love the pieces in the gallery and the prices are reasonable for the quality of work. I always buy by holiday cards from here so I can show off Tucson flare across the country.

I had been in the art business for 18 in Oregon. We moved to Arizona in 2018, very different art here. So was very excited when my friend introduced me Madaras Art! I immediately ordered 3 prints and absolutely love them!!! Also very interested in the glass ornaments for gifts. I am looking forward to going to the Madaras Art Gallery when we visit Tucson!

Had a great time looking around. So many beautiful items. I purchased a cat figurine that is big enough for a medium sized battery operated candle. I didnt pick up the base it was sitting on. The gallery called me & told me I missed it. They sent it to Phoenix free of charge. I really appreciated it.

Went there because I had seen her art at the Tucson Airport about 3 years ago and loved it. I went to the gallery and was pleasantly greeted right away. They were having a sale which was starting in a few days but I was only in town for 3 so they offered me the sale price. The gallery is wonderful and they have some great pieces. They also have things for gifts for house warming etc. I will go back when I am in Tucson again. P.S. I did meet Diana while I was there.

The Madaras Gallery is fun place to visit. It is a charming place full of beautiful paintings and other works of art. If youre on a budget, but love the paintings, you can purchase a print at a very reasonable price. There are also notecards and trivets and other lovely gifts. I went there recently with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I love the wood floors.

The girls at the gallery were absolutely fabulous! They were not only very informative, but kind and patient with us. Especially being it was our first time purchasing an art piece that didnt come from an estate sale or a furniture store. We are very happy with our purchase and well definitely be back! We want to add more pieces to our home and have an awesome collection from the gallery. Thanks again ladies! Sincerely, from The Dimond Family 🌵🌸🥂

I completely feel in love with Madaras art while working through some tough issues at work. Her art pieces were in a business that I visited, and I just loved how they always made me smile - no matter what I was feeling.I was very excited to be able to order a piece from her for my wall. My husband was able to pick it up with no issues and was very impressed with the customer service at the gallery.

While I havent had the pleasure of visiting the gallery in person I do like to peruse the website and catalog at home. The artwork is incredible and unique to this region of the US. My recent (and second) purchase was of an image of a place I had visited on vacation years ago. I am so pleased to have found something beautiful from this collection to enjoy the memory every day. Overall, great quality & product selection and incredible talent! Will definitely buy more products from Madaras Gallery!!

I purchased a canvas to go over my fireplace. I cannot even begin to describe how much I love it - the colors of the southwest bring me so much happiness. My experience at then gallery was terrific - I felt safe with their health precautions, the staff was friendly and helpful, and I got a personal card from Diana Madaras thanking me for my purchase. I will return - her pieces are stunning!

We bought beautiful cups at the gallery that we treasure. I, of course, chose one of them to break. We sent them a picture of the cup, asked if they could replace it and with the next batch of cups they received containing the image we wanted, they let us know and shipped it right out. Very pleasant and efficient process, very nicely treated.

I ordered two large glass cutting boards, with two different, beautiful Madaras painting reproductions. I admire them every day and am so pleased that I found this extraordinary gallery.

Went in excited to explore & support local art. Arrived to learn theyre requiring masks even for vaxd so we opted to leave. Calmly said, no thanks, well just leave and walked out. No confrontation, no yelling, we just left. Yet the staff member started going off about COVID, then chased us out into the parking lot, yelling at us about how their director is immune-compromised. Not sure what that had to do with us. It wasnt our fault that an immune-compromised person chose to work in a business open to the public.Disappointed by the lack of rationale in their policy, but mostly in the hostile treatment by their staff after we chose to leave.

Review №47

The gallery staff are friendly, knowledgeable and offer great suggestions to collectors and new buyers. I have artworks shipped to Canada and each piece has been carefully packed and arrived safe and sound. Dianas artwork is spectacular - her paintings make me so homesick for Arizona and feel like I could just walk into her pictures and be there. My latest acquisition from her gallery was a very delicate mask but not a feather was out of place when it arrived in Toronto.

We discovered Madaras Gallery through a posting by Roomrater on Twitter and began exploring Diane’s art on her website. When we saw the Twin Peaks triptych we knew it was a perfect fit for our home in Colorado. We placed our order and found that the art, in the size we wanted, was not in stock but that they would create the piece we wanted and ship as soon as possible. The art arrived today and it is exactly the addition to our home that we hoped it would be.

Madaras Gallery is one attraction that you must not miss during your stay in Tucson. Diana Madaras, owner and artist, has been painting the beauty of this region and all its flora and fauna for over 25 years. Her new location just off Swan north of Ft. Lowell Rd., is the perfect setting to showcase her talents. Once you step into the gallery, her hospitality, along with her staff, stands out among the many galleries in Tucson. In addition to her art, she also has other exhibits and works of several other artists. A treat to all your senses!

After viewing the virtual Madaras gallery online, and needing to get some gifts for the holidays, we chose this same day to go and visit. We were able to fill out some of our list with the variety of items offered here. There is something for everyone. This is one of our favorites over the years, so it was nice to see that there were protections in place to ease ones concerns while shopping in person.

In addition to exquisite artwork offered from a very talented artist, the customer service and overall personal touch from this gallery continues to be excellent. Erin in customer service is pleasant, professional and offers excellent follow up and follow through on all orders placed. I asked a question on the gallery website, and the artist herself, (Diana Madaras) responded to me with an email - a personal and unexpected touch!Its no reason why the Madaras Gallery in Tucson was voted The Best Gallery in Tucson! I found this to be a charming galley to visit while in Tucson; along with a great on line shopping experience, from my home in Scottsdale - give them a try!

I have only been to the gallery once, but I have ordered merchandise on line. I am from Idaho and have always loved Southwest art and decor. My visit to the gallery was excellent! They helped me choose a couple of prints for my home, as well as a glass cutting board. Dianas art has fascinated me from the very first exposure. Her use of bright colors is superb, and she is so versatile. There will be something there for everyone. The website is great - so easy to find what you want and place an order. I have had perfect customer service with questions or help with an order, and they keep me notified about shipping dates and expected arrival. I cant say enough good things about this gallery and the artists. If you visit Tucson, be sure to stop in - you wont be disappointed.
