Newton Library Show Award First Place Award Newton Art Association, 2016 Newton Library Show

Mollie and Henry Schoenberg Award - First Prize
“The Happy Campers"

Pastel - Ruth has done a great job at capturing the unique character of the four individuals in this painting each with their own facial expression and pose - the individual body language of their hands and legs and feet- as if in a photograph but with much more emotion - bringing them together as a group for us to study and enjoy.

“Novartis Pharmaceutical has chosen your photo, Partners, for the patient journal that they will produce and distribute across the world. They have only selected 4 (FOUR) images- so it's quite an honor.”
