Art in the Shop: New Work!

I am producing a new series of work. This piece is titled "#9" and is the first in a series of 12 planned in using numerology as inspiration. Happy to make appointments to show work.

Art in the World: David Ruth

David Ruth has created large scale sculptures through glass casting for the last thirty years. He seeks to contrast rough textures with polished surfaces, along with bright, dynamic colors.

His work has been featured in several galleries, including Traver Gallery and the Joyce Gordon Gallery. One of Ruth's current projects includes texture molds from glacial ice and stone in Antartica. Ruth currently resides in Oakland California.
