Originally established in 2003 on the Plaza in Healdsburg, J. Howell Fine Art has long been dedicated to showcasing the creativity and diversity of contemporary California artists. In 2025, we relocated to Mendocino, where our search for a new gallery home led us to Den Modern.

We are delighted to collaborate with Lisa Haines, who has thoughtfully curated a beautiful and distinctive space filled with vintage objects, artisan jewelry and interesting things for the home. Together, J. Howell Fine Art and Den Modern offer a unique setting where art and design come together in an inviting, inspiring environment.

J. Howell Fine Art exhibits original paintings, works on paper, and sculpture. The collection encompasses vivid Impressionist and plein-air landscapes, richly hued figurative works, vibrant abstracts, and expressive ceramics—artwork that reflects the remarkable landscapes, light, color, and creative spirit of California.

We invite you to explore the collection and discover the artists and works that make California home.
