J Howell Fine Art is located in the center of Healdsburg's town Plaza in the heart of the Sonoma Wine Country and exhibits original paintings and works on paper by contemporary California artists.

The gallery is situated in the old Bank of Italy building (circa 1910). Eleven-foot tall plate glass windows were added to the original granite facade to create a bright modern space in one of the oldest buildings on the Plaza. Works on display include vivid impressionist and plein-air landscapes, meticulous dry brush watercolors, multihued figurative work, realism and vibrant abstracts.
