The Quercia Gallery

The Quercia Gallery

The Quercia Gallery opened its doors in 1990, in the historic town of Duncans Mills. The town is nestled in the rolling hills, surrounded by redwoods and is next to the Russian River, four miles from the coast. Ron Quercia (pronounced quer-sha meaning “oak” in Italian), moved his gallery and frame shop from Petaluma Madison Street Gallery (est. 1980), to Duncans Mills. Ron reopened the Quercia Gallery bringing his reputation as framer, early California art collector, and gallery director. Ron exhibited over 50 artists in the new gallery which created a salon atmosphere.

In 1995, the Quercia Gallery merged with the Family Gallery which was part of the same historic building. Owner and director of the Family Gallery, Bobbi Jeanne, exhibited three generations of family members in Duncans Mills. She was raised in the town of Mendocino where her family had the first Family Gallery (est. in 1960). The two galleries merged in 1995 and Ron and Bobbi Jeanne were married in 2000. With the gallery now owned and directed by the two of them, Bobbi Jeanne concentrates on exhibits and Ron the framing and both work as a team to select and curate the exhibitions.

Quercia Gallery is located in the Country Stores Courtyard in Duncans Mills, California which is on Highway 116 between Guerneville and Jenner. It's a very pleasant country drive along the Russian River.
