About Ruth
As an artist developing techniques in a variety of mediums, I strive to see beauty. God has given me artistic gifts which are a privilege and a responsibility that I use to bring Him glory and provide peace to all who view my art.
Over the years, my gifts have grown with the many workshops I have had the pleasure of attending. From Watercolor and Gouache on illustration board with Danny Gamble in Texas, Oil Pastels with Stephen Henning, and Watercolor Batik with Judy Thompson, these mediums have given me new techniques that nurture my artistic relationship with the world.
In addition to attending and teaching workshops in these various art forms, I am also a member of the Alex Art Guild in Alexandria as well as a board member, displaying artist, and member of Art of the Lakes Gallery in Battle Lake, Minnesota. Currently living on our farm south of Vining, MN, my husband Nate and I are blessed with three wildly creative adult children.
I hope my artwork encourages thoughtful consideration of the spiritual verses that I letter and illustrate while fostering all that is His perceivable beauty.
