Ruth's mission is to inspire a renewed interest in the historic tradition of portrait miniatures. She completes works on a commission basis. Her unique traveling gallery tells her own family genealogy and teaches the history of many people of early Pennsylvania as well.
Selected by jury for national listing of traditional artisans.
Drawing on techniques and style of Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century works, she uses submitted photographs, engravings, or prints as image reference.
Portrait works have been commissioned by members of organizations such as The Society of the Cincinnati and Daughters of the American Revolution, plus many local Pennsylvania Historical sites.
