She moved to Denver four years ago after living in the Washington, DC area for almost 30 years. Her passion for photography began in 1980 with her first "real" camera, a Canon A-1, and she continued to use film until 2007. She became a Certified Juror through her mentor Joe Miller, Artistic Director and Curator of the Miller Center for Photographic Arts, in Virginia in 2006. Ruth's pictures have been in many juried shows and published in several venues. Her exhibit at the EventGallery covers decades of her work, moving from concrete images to abstract images unrelated to place or context yet still photographing what is already there to be seen. All of her images are made in-camera and she does not digitally manipulate them.
