My life could perhaps be described in thirds – the first 1/3 being my upbringing in Australia, the second 1/3 my life as an artist in New York City, USA, and the final 1/3 of my life back to my Aussie homeland.
If you are reading this – you have touched my life and I am grateful.
And if you want to know the why’s and wherefore’s of my move back to Melbourne, Australia the link is below

Ruth, it has been such a long time, but it so wonderful to see you here again and I am in awe with all of your artwork and community outreach. I wish you well on the next 1/3 of your life and am a little bit jealous of the next neighborhood that gets to have you add your color and humor to it’s fabric.
…You can take the girl out of the Bronx, but you can’t take the Bronx out of the girl…
Thank you for making our Borough a better place. We will miss you.

Hi Jeannie, my first supervisor at the Bronx Zoo, boy did I learn a lot from you! I will never forget the first day I met you, leading me down the secret Snow Leopard trail at the back of the exhibit shop – I was, and still am, in awe of your talents! Ruth
