I am privileged to be a Director on the Board of the Sechelt Hospital Foundation, and in that role I am currently chairing the Art of Healing event committee. This event will take place on Saturday October 20th at the Sunshine Coast Golf and Country Club and the proceeds will support health care for all on the Sunshine Coast.

The gala event will include

a 'fixed-price lottery' of 36 works of fine art by well-known coast artists;
a live auction of a number of high-quality experiential packages (trips to Haida Gwai, Puerta Vallarta and New York included);
a raffle for an expenses-paid trip to Paris for two!

Purchasers of the 'collector' tickets ($500) will have the opportunity to select a work from the 36 on offer. Here's my submission, a 20 x 30 framed oil.

Interested? Watch this space and your local paper for more details on when and how to buy YOUR ticket to what is shaping up to be the premier art-related event on the Coast this year!

About Ruth

I live on British Columbia, Canada’s beautiful Sunshine Coast. I work in soft pastels, acrylics, oils, watercolours, and mixed media. My usual style is best described as ‘naturalism,’ which seeks to represent how the human eye and brain perceive the world—with occasional side trips into abstract and contemporary approaches! I am inspired by, and hope that my work will help viewers to see, the beauty in the everyday world.

I have studied with many excellent Canadian and American artists, and hope to have integrated their teachings into my own distinctive style.

I am a Master Pastelist within (and former President of) the Pastel Artists Canada, and a member of the (former) Landing Artists Collective, the Coast Cultural Alliance, and an Exhibiting Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. I am on the Purple Banner Tour, and the Sunshine Coast Art Crawl.
