Ruth Volkmann

I had the pleasure of meet Ruth in October 2004 at the Fall Festival in Bend, OR. I feel in love with her artwork and purchased two pieces: Klamath Spread, an acrylic piece and A Bit of Alaska, a water color. I really enjoyed chatting with Ruth and was able to see her again the following year. After that, I didn't see her at the Bend festivals and always hoped she would return. She was an amazing lady and artist. I still have her paintings and they make me smile. Thank you, Ruth...

a note that she signed on one of her paintings to my grandparents, "the positive ones." very fitting. you were a character, Ruth!
