RuthSoller

A full-time painter residing in Broomfield, Colorado, Ruth is inspired by the grandeur of the nearby Rocky Mountains. She paints the western landscape in a magical style in which she perceives intensified hues, symbolic motifs and dramatic contrasts in her compositions. Ruth’s Bell Dance Taos Pueblo is included in the Butler Institute of American Art 76th Midyear Exhibition in Youngstown, Ohio. Lower Falls of the Yellowstone was selected for The Russell: Sale to Benefit C. M. Russell Museum. Two of Ruth’s western landscapes, Black Canyon of Gunnison and Cache de Poudre were included in the Creative Capital Exhibition at Denver International Airport. Salmagundi Club New York exhibited Black Canyon of Gunnison by Soller in their Non-Members Show; and Alcove Books of Berkeley, CA published this painting in their book 2010 American Art Collector.

Ruth represented Colorado USA in the 2009 Florence Biennial International Contemporary Art Exhibition in Florence, Italy. Indigo Publishing of Macon, Georgia published Portrait of Rosa Parks in the hard-cover book Montgomery River Region Sketchbook. The general president of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) acquired Soller’s oil portrait of a New York City firefighter entitled In Remembrance for his office in Washington, D.C. Caddell Construction Co., Inc. purchased five of Ruth’s works for their Montgomery, Alabama corporate art collection.
