Santa Rosa is known to tourists as the center of the art of winemaking. The wine industry’s focus on fine craftsmanship is also the defining aesthetic for fine art and craft. In our tour we will see how the woodcarvers and fine artists of the region push their craft to the fullest extent possible and add their own unique innovative stamp.
We’ll first visit the Sonoma County Museum to see handmade wood furniture the likes of which you didn’t realize existed in the 21st century. Drawing on classic techniques and exquisite materials, the members of the Sonoma Woodworkers Assn will astound you with their precision and innovation.
After lunch at a local art cafe, we will visit several artists’ studios in the SOFA Arts District and meet them personally to learn how and why they make their wonderful art.
Join Us on an Art Tour to get a glimpse into how these creators carve out their creative lives away from an urban center. We will see how they draw inspiration and community in their rural surroundings and relish in an immersion in peaceful, non-urban surroundings.
I bet you didn’t have a clue that Santa Rosa held such wonderful artistic bounty. Let’s go together to seek it out! I look forward to seeing you!

The Next Amazing Art Tour took us to San Francisco’s heart in Union Square to see the changes and evidence of Mayor Lurie’s campaign to upgrade the area with his rallying cry, “Let’s go, San Francisco!”
We saw the new BART station and see public art in grand scale. As we walked around, visited numerous galleries and had lunch at a French cafe.

In 2025, I am launching the Art Ambassador Art Advisory, a new service for art lovers who want to enhance their lives with art. I look forward to working with people who seek expert advice on where to see art and what to acquire. They want to consider the investment value but recognize that the best purchases of art are the ones they love and want to live with. They know it brings them joy and stimulation every day. They’d like to increase their exposure to art and their pleasure in life.
Whether you are acquiring art or just looking at it for enjoyment, I invite you to join me on a tour to see what artists are making. As always, I will take you to places you wouldn’t find alone!
Sign up for the email newsletter to receive new tour information and Curator’s Picks of recommendations of art to collect.
You will also be offered an early space on new Art Tours as they come up.
Feel free to share with your friends.
