Northcoast Artists Gallery: The December Holiday Show

The gallery is filled with wonderful offerings and unique gifts for that someone special on your holiday gift list.

The gallery will be featuring jewelry, photography, ceramics, paintings, garden art, drawings, textiles, assemblage, encaustic, wood-working and more. Each artist will have extra display space for the month of December, and the display committee is working hard to make the gallery more beautiful than ever.

Please welcome our newest guest members, Molly Boynoff Klein and Isabel Rucker.

Molly is a potter; her process usually involves throwing on a pottery wheel and altering the shapes with her muddy bare hands, or hand-building with clay slabs. She is inspired by the seashore: the worn sandstone cliffs, the moods of the water, and marine creatures. After living in the Rocky Mountains, being a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic, teaching in China, and traveling the world, Molly has circled back to her native Mendocino Coast, and lives near Fort Bragg.

Isabel is a jeweler, and her jewelry is hand wrought and elegant in design.  It features glittering hammered surfaces and hand carved gemstones.
She is passionate about the natural world and her jewelry is connected to this through regionally sourced stones, like jade from our Mendocino County. Her metal textures recall abstract patterns and movement seen in the wild that capture glints of sunlight. Isabel has a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Oregon where she focused on metalsmithing, and she is currently studying to become a gemologist. She returned to the California coast from the Rocky Mountains in 2020, and lives in Fort Bragg.

Northcoast Artists Gallery will be open every day in December, except Christmas Day. Gallery hours: 11 am to 5 pm.
