"It is with great personal sadness we are closing our gallery, and moving the business out of state," Barbie Moore wrote in an email. "We feel if we had been able to afford more time to keep ahead of the expenses that eventually it would have been worth staying. As is normal for a new business, and even more so with an art gallery, it takes awhile to build up a following."
Moore and Pike opened their gallery on the heels of their serendipitous love story.
