Ruth’s work is inspired by our most precious resource, water. It is the driving force of nature and has the power to transform our landscape. Beautiful rivers, streams, lakes, and seas absorbing, reflecting, and refracting sunlight creating beautiful reflections.

“A drop of water, if it could write out its own history, would explain the universe to us.” – Lucy Larcom (American – Poet March 5, 1824 – April 17, 1893)
