It was cold and gray outside and Bob was finishing his morning coffee and reading the local fishwrap when he came upon section 206 in the want ads. Little did he know that this miserable day was about to turn out better than expected. For halfway down the third column he came across what would forever alter his existence. The ad read: Old English Sheepdog Puppy. The address was in Brewster, Ohio, best known for its potato chip and cheese factories. Off went Bob on his thirty minute journey to find the little house on the well kept street. Standing on the doorstep after ringing the doorbell of the little house, Bob heard a noise which sounded like a stampeding herd of elephants tired of acting and wanting to break out of the big top. When the door opened he discovered not an elephant but his new little buddy, “Brewster”, furry and slobbering and at fifty pounds, only a fraction of his size today.

We are saddened to inform you Brewster passed away in May 5th 2007. Gizele the St. Bernard is pleased to be able to take over his greeting dutyies at our studio, an informal but outstanding gallery where artists from across the United States have displayed their unique talents since 1982.

We hope that you enjoy your tour of our website. We know you will love our artists’ creations. You will undoubtedly find an exceptional gift for that special someone on your list. And if you are ever in our part of the world, please stop in and have a cup of coffee, pet Brewster on the noggin, toss him a bone (bones provided, he eats a lot!) and get to know our artists and our staff. We look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,

Bob, Wendy, Kirby, Mary, June, Catherine, Jen, Igor, Sam, Stacie, Shawn, Margaret, Cory, Mike, Hannah, Karen, Lisa, Whitney, Tiffany and Megan
