Paintings, sculptures, photos, things to hang on your body and much of it has been inspired by the spectacular natural beauty of the turf where these artists live. The first Friday of every month Guerneville's gallery people open their doors, lay out a few munchies, a cup of something red and shmooze with visitors, townies and members of this intertwining network of people who share goals, points of view and the latest dirt on a couple of their mutual acquaintances. Well-behaved pooches are welcome and you might come upon a few surprises.I love this place and the people who brighten it and make visiting it a special experience.

Donovan was at the window working on a piece and quickly invited conversation if I had any questions about anything in the gallery. I loved all of the local landscape and floral art work displayed, which completely contrasted with that of what Donovan was working on.

It's definitely a great place to walk around and take in some great displays of talent (and maybe even take a piece home if you have the wall space!)

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!

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.
