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.
September 2016
Robin Glazer, Director of The Creative Center at University Settlement (NY) notified Ruth on September 2, 2016 that
“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.”
Ms. Glazer also notified Ruth that Artforce Corporate is working on several projects in Massachusetts. They have also specified “Partners” for reproduction, which will be fabricated in the healthcare environment.
“Partners”
Artforce also selected Five other of Ruth’s works to be shown and distributed across the state in Healthcare, Corporate, Enterprise, Hospitality offices, and Educational institutions.
