Acorn Gallery Art Show Featuring Works by Ruth K. Rooks

A suburban dweller, Ruth Rooks is drawn to paint rural and urban landscapes - the ever-changing nature of the out of doors, contrasting with the energy, architecture, and drama of the city. An accomplished gardener, Mrs. Rooks infuses her landscapes with uncommon color, a tribute to her keen eye and wit. Always compelling, her paintings eloquently convey the very essence of her subject, from the hugeness of girders and earthmovers in Scenes of Construction to the colorful presence of local graffiti.
Her latest suites of paintings cap off a lengthy and creative artistic career. She is a highly regarded member of several local and national art associations, including the distinguished Copley Society of Boston, National Acrylic Painters Association, NorthShore, Marblehead, and Swampscott Art associations. where she has been invited to show her watercolors and portraits, and has received numerous awards.
