Christopher Hill bills itself as an "urban gallery in the Napa Valley" tho St. Helena isn't that…read moreurban. It gives off an urban, sophisticated air in the rural Napa Valley. The traffic&parking in St. Helena can be as problematic as San Francisco, so the comparison kind of fits. When it comes to Christopher Hill, I keep confusing them with the Christopher Queen Galleries in Duncans Mills on the Russian River. The Christopher Hill Gallery, unlike Christopher Queen, is centered on contemporary art. It's up a steep flight of stairs, but the journey is worth it. The gallery owners are friendly&knowledgeable. They have an amazing roster of artists in their collection/exhibitions- https://www.chgalleries.com/artists They have also been doing exhibitions to benefit wildfire victims, using art as a form of healing. It's an oasis of modern art off St. Helena's Main Street.

There's an amazing array of pieces- from abstract art, to sculptures with oceanic themes, a giant coffee table book by Annie Liebovitz, to a stunning gigantic book of Tibetan Buddhist sacred art. The curators are friendly&approachable. What's happily surprising is that not all the art is big bucks. One can find affordable gifts that are also tasteful. They represent contemporary artists, particularly those of the Bay Area. While the St. Helena gallery is an oasis, I really should go down to the Yountville one that has a sculpture garden.

Wolk. With a fantastic collection of items largely from Bay Area artists and an open space presenting the art in an eye catching fashion I found the customer service at I. Wolk to be exemplary despite the fact that I wasn't looking to buy immediately. With a vast knowledge of the artists presented and a diverse understanding of the arts in general I can't recommend this place enough - if/when I head west next I'll be back, ideally this time with a decorating budget in mind.

I have a really hard time rating The Ren Brown Collection…read more It's not a botanical garden in that the fountain appears to be closed off and it's definitely not a gift shop because their selection is so small. The closest description I could settle on would be a gallery - and to be honest it's a very small one. The space is set up a bit like a tea room that also sells art, including a few pieces of jewelry and stonewares but it feels like the owners wanted a garden and like to collect Japanese art, so they created the store as a way to offset the cost, versus creating a market-driven store. All in all, if you're in the area it's certainly worth a stop (especially if the garden is open) but otherwise I'd don't think it's worth a special trip.

With that said on our last vacation there as always we always stop at the Art Galleries off Pacific Coast Hwy 1. This time we stopped by Pacific Bay Gallery and I'm glad we did. I love collecting art such as paintings & sculptures and this was the right Gallery to visit. As we walked I we were greeted by the artist/painter Mr. Noki Noki is by origin from Thailand but got his Art degree in US and has been painting sceneries and sculpting for the past 15 years or so. After we chatted about art and his techniques I decided to buy a few of his awesome paintings. I like supporting local Artists because that's one way they'll keep going by doing what they love best "painting". His paintings include sceneries of Sonoma, Napa Valley, Ocean and local Wineries. Also Noki likes to paint animals especially paintings with his dog =) 5 Stars for Noki and Pacific Bay Gallery Also check my pics. Hope you enjoy them!
