Howard “Luke” Lucas
Howard paints not from photos, but from being out in the wonder of it all. He engages in the glorious struggle of plein air painting, to capture light, form and color on paper… connecting to our dynamic universe. He actively participates in the Whiskeytown, Mendocino and Lost Coast Open Paint Outs. Read more about Luke and see more of his work…..

About Us
Annual Juried Exhibits
NVAL puts on juried competitions each year, which are open to members and non-members. Each show features exceptional art and is exhibited throughout the entire gallery. These are ‘must-see’ events!
Exhibit Your Art in the Carter House Gallery
Member Shows
The Carter House Gallery gives NVAL members the opportunity to display and sell their artwork throughout the year. The art in the Gallery is ever-changing as new shows are hung approximately every month. In addition to member shows there are four months out of the year when members can arrange to have a One-Person show or Small Group Show. These shows are presented in the League’s Featured Artist Gallery. It is the continual rotation and variety of quality fine art that make frequent visits to the Carter House Gallery a ‘Must-Do’ for people living in and passing through California’s North State.
Gift Shop
The NVAL Gift Ship features a wonderful display of artwork created by our members: jewelry, sculpture, glasswork, grouds, pottery, metalwork, hand-painted silk items, weaving, wood pieces, soft sculpture, cards, prints, and other original creations. It is a place to purchase unique gifts for any occasion.
