Art Direct Sonoma was created to fill the needs of local artists and art lovers.  We are not a gallery, but we do work directly with artists to bring their work to private and public events where it can be viewed and purchased.  Our goal is to help the artist sell their work to an audience they are unable to reach.  That's our job and it's what we love to do.

For the Client:
Business owners, fund raisers and private individuals interested in hosting art shows can work with Art Direct Sonoma to create the perfect event without the hassle of managing all the details.  Art Direct Sonoma works closely with each client to set the tone for their event.  We work with you to choose the number and type of pieces desired.  We'll also create and mail your invitation, set up and manage the show, and we can even cater the event for you. 

For the Artist:
Art Direct Sonoma will work directly with you to decide what events are right for your work.  We will continually invite you to events all over the County where sales for your work are most promising.  And, we will display samples of your work on our website to help our clients design their events visually. 

Art Direct Sonoma is also THE resource for upscale fund-raisers for all kinds of community groups and businesses. 


  
Featured Artist

Karen Ryer 
Stone Sculptor


Karen's work has been shown in several galleries locally, and she has submitted many pieces to various shows in Northern California, all of which have been successfully juried in.  For five years Karen has consistently sold most of the pieces that she sculpts.  Her work has been purchased by collectors from all over the country, from New York to Hawaii.

Owner of Withywindle Gallery in Guerneville, Karen is busy both with her own carving exhibitions but also many Nationally and Internationally known artists.  

Because of her love of stone carving, Karen also organizes a host of carving workshops and, like the gallery, she invites renown artists to lead classes.

Karen's work will be shown for sale at two Art Direct Sonoma events in May.  Click on Events and Activities to learn more.
