History
Established in 1998.
Established in 1998
Many people describe walking into an Art for the Soul gallery as an experience akin to «falling down the rabbit hole.» Art for the Soul has two colorful brick and mortar stores in the California coastal towns of Balboa Island and Laguna Beach. Owner Valinda Martin opened the first Art for the Soul store in 1998 on the charming and historic Balboa Island. The whimsical and imaginative gallery was an instant hit due to its diverse selection of American handcrafted art, engraved jewelry, and unique gifts.
Meet the Business Owner
Valinda M.
Business Owner
When Valinda Martin broke her back 10 years ago, she could have wallowed in self-pity. She had after all lost not only the use of her legs, but a fast-paced career in the clothing industry. Instead, she started traveling with her sister, who helped her adapt to wheelchair transportation as if she were training for a sporting event. While visiting picturesque small towns up and down the coast, she was drawn to colorful, upbeat stores whose optimistic energies were an inspiration to live, and ultimately to open her own high-spirited store.
