Artists Bio:

Ruth Kaldor paints in watercolor and oil. She is a member of the Vermont Watercolor Society. Ruth was an art teacher for thirty-one years, teaching visual art to grades K-12 at Cabot School, Vermont and then Peacham Elementary School, Peacham, Vermont. Today, Ruth devotes full time to painting. She participates in a weekly figure drawing / painting group.

"I'm always working toward mastering my drawing skills, interpreting values, and keeping my colors clean. Outside my studio, plein air painting is a passion where I take in the sights, sounds, and smells. I rise to the challenge of capturing that light and sense of place." One plein air admirer said of Ruth's art, "Anyone can paint a picture but not everyone can paint a painting."
