Ruth received her MFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York City (2016). Her paintings have been featured in exhibitions around New York, San Francisco, and the Hudson Valley including shows at Woodstock Artists Association and Museum, Art Austerlitz, and The Wassaic Project. She is the recipient of the 2022 Nicholas Buhalis Award at WAAM and recently had small works represented by Deanna Evans Projects in New York.

Ruth finds interest in using nonobjective elements of space, form, and color as the primary building blocks to create apomorphic and utopian imagery. The painting surface is a place to imagine irrational environments that erase gender, warp space, and eliminate gravity. The juxtaposition of gestural and hard-edged forms aims to create a playful contrast between the rigidity inherent in virtual drawing and liberating mental space found in hand sketching or observing physical objects.
