Ms. Ruby

Ms. Ruby Angelica Bute also known as Ms. Ruby is an artist, a story teller, an event planner, a lover of nature and an inspiration to lots of people on the island. Honored by the Queen of Holland on February 25th 2005 Ms. Ruby, who has been painting from 6 years old, has taught many generations of young budding artists. Ms. Bute reflects, with a smile on her face, that she has always painted and has always been in love with painting even when she worked in other industries, painting was always her passion. The excitement that she gets when she looks at an empty canvas and "see a whole new world on the canvas" is something that offers her "peace and tranquility". Ms. Butes’ collection of work can be found all around the island on both Dutch and French St. Maarten, however to see her work in her element one must visit her gallery in Friars bay under the "silk cotton" tree.
