I have purchased several prints by Stephen McMillan from the gallery by calling Jennifer at WaterWorks. I have not been to the gallery but I will the next time I visit San Juan Island. Stephen McMillan does amazing landscape aquatints with multitonal levels and some with multicolor plates.

Lovely collection of very talented artists! I very much appreciated the customer service - helping us look more closely at the jewelry and giving us information on the artists. Highly recommend taking a gander at this great gallery - don't let the location or facade deter you. It's my favorite in Friday Harbor!!

They have a stunning selection of works by several different artists. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We noticed one work in particular and she quickly brought out several more pieces by the same artist.

Waterworks has some of the finest and most interesting art I have seen in a long time. Realist portraits, impressionism, to completely abstract. Painting and sculpture. A small space, well hung.

I always visit local galleries as I am involved in one in my home town. Joanne couldn’t have been more pleasant and was knowledgeable about the art on sale. Love the ring that I purchase. Great place with excellent artwork.

My boyfriend and I were exploring this beautiful island and had nothing but great experiences until we came here. When first entering this gallery we were kindly greeted by an employee who took the time to show us around and talk about the artists and their beautiful work. She entertained every question but when my boyfriend asked how long it typically takes to sell one of these artworks, the owner immediately attacked him for even asking. She said "some questions don't need to be answered." She made the assumption he was some sort of salesman who was being judgy about price. We love looking at art and this place was wonderful, we just did not feel welcome after that.

Upon the insistence of my American friend Chad who was a comrade of mine in the French Foreign Legion for many years we visited this impressive gallery whilst staying at his holiday home in San Juan.Chad has PTSD and can become very loud and excitable when he is enjoying himself.We both loved the gallery and I wished to buy one of the works. Chad become over excited and is jumping around with glee. The chick who works in this place was not sympathetic to my friend and I did not like her attitude so I did not buy anything.What gives p**** cat why the cold heart to one of your American brothers who has served the free world ?

Having grown up in gallery packed Santa Fe, I know a great art gallery when I see one. WaterWorks has been a favorite of mine for over ten years. The owner has exquisite taste and a large inventory of art and jewelry at all price points representing the best of the San Juans and beyond. I don't have a lot of money to spend on pretty things but I treasure the Stephen McMillan print I bought years ago and am already in love with my new Judy Morgan necklace that was an end of season splurge. It has complimented so many outfits that I am not sure how I lived without it. Thank you, Ruth, for your great showroom and great collection of art.

Took a wonderful trip to San Juan. Went into this gallery and was impressed with some of the art. I put a hold on a painting I really liked. Took a photo of title and price. Put a hold on it to think about it. I came back 2 days later to finalize the sale and the price had gone up 450$. Tourist gouging. Visitors beware!!

My sister and her family used to have a vacation home in Friday Harbor. Every summer I would drive my young children there to visit.My birthday is in August so my sister and I would go to Waterworks Gallery annually for my birthday present. I always purchased something for myself as well and everything I aquired still lives happily in my home. Don't miss this very unique gallery. Fun to browse and fun to acquire a memory! Just purchased something very special for my upcoming birthday! Enjoy!
