The Art Galleries of Mendocino County

Given the inspiring scenery, it is unsurprising that artists have flocked to Northern California. (William Zacha, who founded the Mendocino Art Center, liked to claim that Mendocino County had the highest number of artists per capita in the country). We found several galleries that certainly attest to the region’s abundant talent.

Most eye-catching at this artists’ cooperative were the lovely oils of Joseph DuVivier, which depict coastal scenes as well as still lifes; the intricate bracelets, pins and pendants crafted by Margaret Paul; and the redwood bowls and sculpture of Greg Burdick.
