 Our customers say it best...
- “I think Dianne is fabulous. She has a wealth of information about how to help a customer make the right decision for what they need and want. From talking with us, she is able to assess what we like by picking up common themes in the art we select. She shares these insights with us and then makes recommendations to match what we want.
She never tries to sell us.We trust her assessment of the art and she helps us make the best decisions for our taste and what has high value too.”

“This letter is meant to tell you of my very wonderful experiences working with Dianne Borsini-Burr and her entire staff at the Borsini-Burr Gallery.
The first time I walked into the gallery is still a memorable moment. It has been followed by many lovely times. Thinking about why this is so, I’ve come to this conclusion:
I believe most people, including me, go into a gallery to see what is on the walls or shelves. We like art. We are often met by “attitudes.” Either we are greeted with the attitude “Here is a live one.” We are followed around with no “space.” I personally can’t wait to leave! Sometimes the greeting is the opposite: “I can’t be bothered with this one. She can’t afford. . . “Again, I can’t wait to leave! At Borsini-Burr, I went into the gallery with the same expectations as any other gallery visit – to see what was on the walls. I was met by Dianne, a friendly, passionate owner, eager to show me around and teach me about her gallery, answer questions, deal with my hesitations. I did not feel pressured or treated with disrespect that time or any time afterward. All my visits since that time have remained consistent. I have grown in my art knowledge. I have bought a number of wonderful pieces of art from Borsini-Burr Gallery. I love all my purchases. They enhance my home and express who I am. I always look forward to my visits at the gallery. I have gained a friend in Dianne, as have many of her other customers. I feel she has just as much passion for her customers as her art.
So what’s the difference between Borsini-Burr Gallery and others: an owner with a passionate love for art, respect for the artists, respect for the customers and an incredible staff. AND great choices on the walls and shelves. Of course Borsini-Burr is in business to make money, but I never feel that pressure!
Dianne, you are an invaluable treasure yourself.”

- “The first piece of art I ever bought from Dianne Borsini-Burr was five years ago. I have bought nine pieces since. They are all from Howard Terpning as I love Indian Art and especially his work. The first piece I bought from Dianne was “Color of the Sun.”
Dianne is very knowledgeable about Howard Terpning, highly ethical, gracious and warm. She is a wonderful person to know – like an old friend.
She is always really good about letting me know what’s new from Terpning. I have recommended Dianne to my son and he also bought some art from her. She is a wonderful business woman and I would definitely do business with her again and tell others.”

- “Working with Borsini-Burr Galleries has been an exciting and fun experience. Dianne and I have been building my collection of Howard Terpning for several months. She took a personal approach, getting to know me as a client, determining my need, and working diligently to get there. She was able to find some very rare pieces that I feel would have been difficult or impossible elsewhere. She is also the most knowledgeable individual on Howard Terpning that you will ever find!
Diane's selection of fine artists to represent, and their complete collections along with her uncompromising service has certainly won me over. I am really impressed with the selection of artists at the gallery. Rather than having a wide range of artists, she has focused on the very best masters within their subjects, such as Terpning, Situ, Coleman and Greeves for Western Art. They some are the finest contemporary western artists!
Thank you - Dianne. It's been a pleasure working with you. LOVE THE ART!”

“My first experience with Dianne Borsini-Burr was with the artist, Clifford Bailey. From the time I considered a trip to the coast to Borsini-Burr Galleries to the time I bought the painting from one of Dianne’s staff was 90 minutes. A day later, Dianne called to personally thank me for my purchase. She then hand delivered the painting herself. I like her personal touch. She is always very accommodating to my schedule. And she always remembers to invite me to special openings with the artists I love.
I like how she establishes camaraderie with me and the artists. She knows the person behind the artist. She gets to know her customers – what they like, how they live, what’s important to them. She is really passionate about her art and is a great communicator.
I like how the two galleries feel. They are very warm and inviting. The lighting is excellent. The people who work for Dianne are very nice too.
I have bought other paintings from Dianne and continue to enjoy the experience.”

- “The first time I ever heard of Dianne Borsini-Burr and her galleries was through an ad placed in SouthwestArt magazine. I called her and found out that she had some rare and hard to get pieces of Howard Terpning, the greatest living Western artist. Her knowledge about Terpning was unsurpassed. I did a lot of checking around before I bought from her. I had a pretty good art collection in the 80’s and was fairly knowledgeable about Western Art.
Dianne always keeps me informed about Western Art, especially any new Howard Terpning pieces. She invited my wife and me out to Half Moon Bay to see her galleries. We found her galleries to be well lit and inviting. Her staff is knowledgeable and everyone goes out of their way to make sure we are happy there. There is a lot of personal touch.
We found Dianne very cordial and extremely gracious. Her personality is overwhelming. She is head and shoulders above anyone else in the business. We continue to buy art from her because she is the best at what she does.”
