Ruth is a very adventurous soul whose life experiences have included swimming as a mermaid in underwater shows at Weeki Wachee Springs in Florida, working with the Flipper dolphins at Miami Seaquarium, living in Hawaii, setting National age-class records in Power Lifting, and doing an 11,000-mile motorcycle tour of the US on her Harley !!!  The  traits of curiosity, exploration and enterprise that motivated those adventures, are the same ones that  fuel her incursion into the world of accessory art.

She grew up in Hazleton, Pennsylvania and currently resides in Olympia, Washington, along with her husband, Dave, who is a freelance Equestrian Instructor and Coach.

Ruth is a talented and industrious artist and craftswoman, who has worked very diligently at honing her skills, knowledge and experience, with the goal of producing One-Of-A-Kind Wearable Art.

Her passion is in the skill of Silversmith work.  She has sought out the best instructors in the field to learn from, and spends many hours honing her skills in her studio.  With her love of thinking outside the box, she is always stretching and improving her skills to design and execute new ideas for designs.  Her love of natural semi-precious stones is a never-ending resource for new and exciting pieces.

Through the years Ruth has exposed herself to many art forms which all influence and support her current works.  She has received instruction in Lapidary, Faux Bone, Torchwork beads, Glass fusing, Chainmail, Viking Knit, Cake Decorating traditional and Australian and Airbrush art.
