Waterhouse Gallery Turns Ruby

Social gridlock reigned at the Waterhouse Gallery in the charming La Arcada complex on State and Figueroa, when owners Diane and Ralph Waterhouse celebrated the 40th anniversary of their eponymous locale with a fun wine-fueled fête in the store, just a tiara’s toss from the turtle fountain.

The tony twosome, who also own a Coast Village Road outlet in Montecito – opened nearly two years ago – jokingly refer to them as “his and her galleries.”

Among the aesthetic hoard turning out were former TV game show host Bob Eubanks (a longtime friend), Gerd Jordano, Luke Swetland, Monty Amyx, Mark Whitehurst and Kerry Methner, Alma Rose Middleton, Fritz, Teresa Kuskey and Rick Oshay, Carolyn and Bob Williams, Helene Segal, George Konstantinow, Leisa Cosentino,and Sandy Kelley and Michael Marshall. and Gretchen Olenberger.
