Ruth Banarer Art Exhibit

Ruth has a passion for art that extends beyond her creations. Teaching drawing and painting at the Barnsdall Art Center and forming a women’s co-op art gallery, Contemporary Images, in Sherman Oaks are two of her most recent accomplishments. Ruth also has served on several boards of directors and is a member of several art associations and guilds.
"Everywhere I look, there is a painting to be translated onto paper. How I interpret it depends on the materials I am using. Life changes; why shouldn’t the way in which we perceive it change? The only constant in my work is humor-it is my artist’s medium."
