.As an American Impressionist, the artist paints a variety of subjects, concentrating primarily on landscape with figures. Ruth’s ‘Beachscapes’ coax the viewer to come nearer and smell the salt air, while taking us down memory lane to recall our childhood, fun with our children or grandchildren.
Ruth's medium of choice is oil which she applies with palette knives to achieve her desired effect in a painting. She also enjoys working with soft pastels.
Taylor began pursuing her art career with studies at the Kansas City Art Institute and private lessons in Missouri. She now takes classes at the von Liebig Art Center, pursuing her interest in adding figures to her landscapes, as well as continuing a self study regimen.
