Quent Cordair Fine Art was established by artist Quent Cordair in 1996. As a premier provider of contemporary Romantic Realism in painting, sculpture and drawing, QCFA has grown to serve an international clientele of private and corporate collectors. Located in beautiful downtown Napa, Ca., the gallery features a large collection of uplifting and inspirational art.

The "Hay Barn" houses Gordon Huether's design studio, project gallery, fabrication facilities, administrative offices and gallery. Guests are welcome to visit Gordon Huether Studio + Gallery. The Gallery is located at 1821 Monticello Road in Napa, CA and is open Monday through Friday, from 9 AM - 4 PM. Gordon Huether's enormously successful career, spanning several decades, has involved large-scale art installations, many executed in the medium of glass. In recent years he has begun exploring different media and a more challenging direction in his smaller-scale fine artwork. Using the seductive properties of richly saturated color, a wide array of natural and artificial light sources, luscious and diverse texture, found materials and quirky, sometimes unsettling imagery, his work offers viewers a complex intellectual experience.

One tour only, Saturdays at 11 a.m. from May through October.
