YOU HAVE LANDED ON MY PAGE – THANK YOU
Wherever you are in the world I wish for you peace at this moment. The world may feel uncertain, it does for me. I use the tagline “May your life be your masterpiece” and at times like this I know I will be challenged to embrace my inner resources to move forward living my life fully.

Ruth Chase is a multimedia artist whose work engages and activates community bridge building. Born and raised in Venice, CA in 2017 Ruth completed the West of Lincoln Project. West of Lincoln was about Venice and was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation from the City of Los Angeles for Art in Action, as well as a grant to an individual artist from the Carl Jacobs Foundation. Ruth was awarded an Artist in Residence at Nevada County Arts for Artist Activating Communities through a grant from the California Arts Council for BELONGING, I AM HERe, and most recently HOME.
“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”
“The BELONGING project gives a voice and perspective of the Nisenan Indians, the Native Americans who were here for countless generations before the California gold rush. This project will help raise visibility and awareness of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe”
“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. I love Venice”
“Thank you my Venice Sister! You have a awakened a pride in me that I haven’t felt in a long time regarding our hometown of Venice”
“Participating in BELONGING allowed me to share how I connect children with nature, land, and bring a sense of belonging to a place”
