The web form I just built is not sending, it only opens my default email.
I put the recipients address in the Action tab, is that correct? I used mailto: prior to the address, could that be the issue? It's uploaded at https://www.josephclarkgallery.com/contact-us.html

All mail settings in the Form Builder are done within the app under the Notification Tab or Confirmation tab.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thanks Eric. Guess I'm dumb but where are the Notification Tab or Confirmation tabs? I've looked through everywhere and do not see any tabs named that.

Click on "Setting" at the top left of the app.

Thanks again Eric, but that only opens the Settings for publishing the form.
The form is online but the Submit button only opens a default email, it does not send the form.

As you suspected before you are overiding the button action by placing the email:to

</label><button type="submit" class="button" formaction="mailto:josephclarkgallery@gmail.com"><span class="submit-text-2">SUBMIT</span></button>

You set where to send the form to, and a confirmation email sent to the clients email. in the webform settings

and just as an aside
the form on my mobile device is way off to the right (needs scrolling to get it, and on my desktop monitor its way way too wide (not just the form but everything.)

This is what would be classed as not a good user experience which could effect any SEO

Thanks Wayan,
I know the form needs size adjustments but I'm just trying to get it working first.
I don't see webform settings, can you please expand on where I can find that?

It's not just your form

I don't really understand what you have some, normally one cannot export without completing the confirmation and notification fields, it normally gives a warning to do so.
So all you need do is remove that mailto:. gubbins from the buttonin site designer
