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.

West of Lincoln Project

The West of Lincoln painting series pays tribute to a population of people who shaped the history of an untamed community, while preserving their historic significance.

I relate to the wolf because of its strength, speed, and because me and my brothers were raised like a wolf pack in Dogtown. Quote from the West of Lincoln Project

Brad James

The West of Lincoln Project is bringing people together because you are caring about their stories, it is truly the spirit of old Venice and community.

Jill Weiss Ippolito

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

Jennifer Rugge

Beautiful work Ruth! It’s so awesome that there are people like you that grew up in Venice and want to help share the history and stories of this place, Venice.
