My wife and I have been purchasing art from Ruth Offen, waterworks gallery for the last 12 years and we have found her to be knowledgeable about her art and have always felt she operated her business with the highest degree of integrity.

Waterworks Gallery does a great deal to support local artists and has been active in supporting many community events. We have recommended many friends to Ruth and they have always been satisfied with their business relationship with her.

It is without hesitation that I would recommend Ruth Offen and waterworks gallery to anyone interested in acquiring art for their home or office.

We have bought paintings and sculpture from Ruth for over 15 years. Even though we no longer live on the island we wouldn't make our art purchases through any other gallery.

Ruth has an excellent instinct for good artists of quality and reputation. We trust her. She is flexible and has allowed us to "try it out" in place. Once we have made a decision she has worked with us on framing the piece (even by email).

I now can keep an eye on what's in the galley on the website and I know she will ship my choice to me and it will arrive in perfect condition.

While many island business have come and gone, Waterworks has remained the premier place for art for Islanders and visitors alike...

Thank you Ruth...from Karen and Jeremy.

Waterworks Gallery is a most unique and interesting gallery filled with beautiful local art. My partner and I discovered it unexpectedly while walking around Friday Harbor in June 09.

We ended up purchasing three pieces by a local artist and having Waterworks ship them back to the the Midwest where they now look awesome in our home on the Great Lakes.

The women at the gallery were genuinely friendly and very helpful. I look forward to returning to your gallery on our next trip to Seattle.
