My name is Ruth Chase. I am passionately in love with nature and fascinated by unseen energies and things of a spiritual nature. I paint, I create video, I am the unraveling.

West of Lincoln Project

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

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of something that has awakened so much in me already!! There are no accidents in this world and I count the I AM HERe project as an amazing gift!

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.

I was going to be raised the Venice way, the same way my uncles were raised. I looked up to them. I was Venice Trece, you know V13. Quote from the West of Lincoln Project.

Leonard Duran

“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”
