When the world gets weird, I retreat to my studio, spend time in nature and work it out with paint.

I have become obsessed with light, science and consciousness, pulling on the thread and following it wherever it takes me. I spend a lot of time with my feet in the dirt and my face toward the sun. Gosh, light is so damn mysterious. No wonder our ancestors paid such close attention to it.

I’ve been returning to old photographs, some of which I have lived with for decades. Maybe I’m looking for traces of what they knew as an anchor in such strange times.

PORTFOLIO

West of Lincoln Project

Working on the West of Lincoln Project I learned that my strength comes from remembering who I was as a little girl growing up in Venice, Ca..  Having lived a less then perfect childhood I found that my innocence made me brave and strong.

Gloria Olivas Omar

“What others often don’t understand about people who grew up in Venice during the late 70’s was that, in Venice, you had to be tough; hold your own on the street”

Meta Zimmerman

I am touched by your beautiful work on the West of Lincoln Project. You are doing good work in the world, Namaste.

Belonging and I AM HERe has affected me deeply in ways I didn’t expect.

Jennifer Rugge

Thank you Ruth for the amazing experience of being part of I AM HERe. Seeing the transformation, it was such a gift to meet so many amazing women.
