My name is Ruth, I live in Northern California and was born and raised in VENICE, CA. I started out as an oil painter and have evolved into an artist who creates multi-media installations that include paintings, audio, social media, slideshows, video, and social engagement. My intentions stay focused on positive social change, working with concepts that reflect identity and the value of people to their community.
The public plays a vital role in the outcome of my work,
taking a journey with me that can last up to two years. I produce multi-media installations that include paintings, audio, social media, slideshows, video, and social engagement.
“I relate to the wolf because of its strength, speed, and because me and my brothers were raised like a wolf pack in Dogtown”
“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”
“Through the West of Lincoln Project I have been able to reconnect with old friends and remember the amazing chapter in my life that is the formative time for who I am now.
You have reignited my deep passion for painting and renewed the value of it in my life.
Love from rainy England”
“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”
“When I was a young kid I had hopes and dreams of success. However, I did not follow the path as planned. At the age of 31 I discovered myself learning from my mistakes, and was given a second chance! It turned my regrets into passionate achievements. Hope is never too late!”
