Our Story

Art Tile has been serving the East Bay region since 1985 when under the leadership of Royal Yates, the store launched with a vision of offering the best and most knowledgeable service and artisan tile selection in the Bay Area. Royal’s goal was to ensure that everyone who walked through the door had a smile on their face by the time they left. The store remains true to this vision. In 2014, Patrick Feely, who comes from a family with 11 generations of experience in the Natural Stone Industry, took the reins. He says, “I was excited to take over the store because the East Bay deserved to have a world-class tile and stone store, so I created a team with vast experience and built the new showroom to highlight our curated choice of product”.  

We offer a selective range of natural stone, ceramic and porcelain tiles and slabs, and carry special handmade and made- to- order unique tiles. We work with our vendors in Europe, US, and Asia to bring you all of the latest trends and the traditional tile. Our knowledgeable staff curates the merchandise selection based on our customer’s needs, with a sharp eye for trends and innovation.

Our Team

Patrick Feely (the owner) comes from Ireland, a family of eleven generations in Natural Stone business. “I began as a young lad helping my Dad carve and install Irish Limestone headstones throughout the West of Ireland. As I grew up, I became more and more passionate about not just the stone itself, but also the business. I continued to work in the industry, first installing diamond-wire cutting tools in quarries throughout the world, then leading one of the largest stone conglomerates in Europe. Through my family in Ireland as well as my years in the industry, I have established many contacts and partnerships, which allow Art Tile to have direct relationships with quarries in Europe, Asia and the U.S. By going straight to the quarries we are able to choose the most beautiful slabs.”

Andrea Stark has been in the design and tile industry for over 20 years! Andrea is very excited that ART TILE carries a wide range of styles and prices. “It opens up the design possibilities. Sometimes I have to work harder with clients who have a “dream” but not the budget. It is so satisfying when I can help them achieve it. I feel like a part of their home. I know they will be happy living there.” She adds: “To me, the environment we live in is very important. To go home and be in a space that is your sanctuary where you can take a breath and just be you”. Andrea is also managing the Countertop DesignStudio, located on the second floor of our showroom, where clients can get samples of the stone, ranging from quartz to porcelain, quartzite, soapstone, and marble.
