at the same time - I like it very much."

"The reward of Ruth Ann's work for the viewer is this reward of transcendence.
This very concrete thing that promises nothing on first glance - over time becomes
a symphonic experience of color."
Stephen Westfall, artist/writer
"She has a very strong personality and a strong will, sort of does what she is doing"...
