Ruth Lefko
“Paint like you mean it”
Ruth is now five plus years into her second career as an artist and enjoying every minute. Art classes and seminars from Roanoke to Maine have helped refine her techniques in watercolor, acrylic, and pastels.
She is active in the New River Valley art community as a member of the Blacksburg Regional Art Association and she also manages four Off-Site Galleries for the Montgomery Museum, Lewis Miller Art Center.
P
erhaps her most rewarding new venture has been to create a studio/gallery at the farm she shares with husband, Carl and their dogs and cats. Ruth now offers art classes to those eager to share in her passion for nature and creativity.
With paintings in local galleries and juried shows, Ruth's style ranges from realism to abstract. No matter the style or subject, it is evident she finds joy in the beauty around her and in expressing life experiences through her art.
