Finding the right holiday gift for your husband or wife is about more than checking a box. It’s about celebrating love, memory, and the life you’ve built together. If you’re searching for holiday gift ideas for your significant other, consider giving something that lasts far beyond the season: original art.

Give the Gift of Choice

Sometimes the most meaningful present is letting your partner choose the piece that speaks to them most. At Bradford Brenner Gallery, we offer holiday gift certificates, a perfect option if you’d like your husband or wife to select their favorite artwork after the holidays.

Gift certificates can also be applied toward a custom commission, allowing Brad to create a one‑of‑a‑kind painting tailored to your partner’s personality, your shared story, or the space you envision together. It’s a way to give not just art, but the experience of being part of its creation.

About Jessica Parker-Brenner

Gallery Manager, Bradford Brenner Gallery

Born in San Diego and raised along the West Coast as a proud Navy kid, I’ve always been drawn to places with soul. Whether it’s the quiet charm of Medford, Oregon, the creative pulse of San Luis Obispo, or the wine rich warmth of Healdsburg, California. My journey has been anything but linear, but every chapter has shaped how I curate, connect, and create.

Before stepping into the art world, I spent nearly a decade immersed in wine culture. First in St. Paul, Minnesota, where I managed a tasting room while completing my degree, and later at Ferrari-Carano Winery in Healdsburg. There, I oversaw the tasting room and led buying for furniture and merchandise across the Plaza and the Dry Creek Villa, blending hospitality with design.

In 2016, I joined the Bradford Brenner Gallery, where I’ve spent the past nine years managing operations, exhibitions, and brand development. While I may not have a painter’s touch (Brad and I learned that the hard way…RIP to many tubes of oil paint), I found my creative stride in digital design, SEO strategy, and social media branding.

My background in consumer and business lending (JP Morgan Chase), paired with my early banking internship at Washington Mutual, gave me a strong foundation in client relations and strategic planning. Today, I bring that same precision and empathy to the gallery. Whether I’m curating installations, designing promotional materials, or guiding collectors through Bradford’s work.

At heart, I’m a connector. I love helping people find beauty, meaning, and resonance. Whether through a painting, a story, or a shared glass of wine.
