Unique Art Gallery closing its doors
by Susan Stein

About three years ago, Ruth Draper and fellow artist Pauline opened their art boutique on 2 Queen Street in Cookstown, and on April 15, 2005 relocated to 7 Queen Street.

Over the years, the store offered a venue for exhibits and sales to 28 artists, excelling in different art genres. The will miss the place, which gave them exposure, and for Ruth and Pauline a chance to meet and sell to art lovers from all over the world.

The time has come to close their gallery and devote more time to their own work. Ruth, as artist in porcelain painting, pottery and watercolours, Pauline an artist in oil, water colour paintings and painting on glass.
