Art Contest for Artists with Disabilities

Know an artist 16-25 years old that also has a disability? Then you may want to encourage them to enter the VSA's Annual "National Juried Exhibition for Emerging Artists with Disabilities".  Ruth spent the day with an artist who owns a local gallery getting inspiration and ideas for her submissions, due by June 10, 2011.

Published!

A sample of Ruth's encaustic work was in the school district's spring newspaper this month, front page and in color!
Ruth is back to working on new pieces so hopefully we will get this site up and running.  I still need help with creating pages/buttons if anyone knows how! THANKS!

This technique of coloring sand and using in art is unique to the southern part of Ukraine where Ruth lived.
