Art on the Ridge

I just discovered an Art on the Ridge blog that links back to us and has a very nice description of growing up as a neighbor of Ruth's.
I was fortunate enough to grow up on Bennett Ridge, and one of my childhood influences was my neighbor and late artist, Ruth Dicker. Her unique style of painting, and her modern home, with mobiles and African masks on display, captured my imagination forever. Her bold, creative energy will be missed.
Ruth participated in Art on the Ridge for many years. The family participated on her behalf in 2005 with a mini-museum show in her house. We sold paintings, postcards, sketches, constructions and more. Everyone who left with a memory of Ruth looked happy that day. Below are pictures from the garage in 2003 and the house in 2005.
