Ruth believes art succeeds best when empty of all intention. Her "signature" is merely an imprint of the letter O, found in a Venetian antiquaire and integrated in the design.
Through her long, productive life, she has maintained a flow of creative activity that includes several published books. In Vermont in the seventies, she concentrated on monumental outdoor sculpture in marble and granite, primitive in style. Now her pieces are small, fragmented "remnants" and she paints in a mixture of water, oil and acrylic colors, combined with torn Japanese paper on sheets of heavy graphic paper and unstretched fabric. Her work expresses the fragile, temporary , ever-changing aspects of contemporary life.
