Welcome our new artist, Ruth Shively. In her own words:
I work largely with the figure, yet as of late exploring more abstract methods of representation. I paint because I’m an artist and I don’t know what else I would do. I grew up in the Midwest but longed to see the bigger world. I have lived in Paris, New York, Minneapolis and currently Portland, Oregon, I look forward finding the next place in this world to live and explore.
