2026 Artist: Ruth Anne Barker

As Arts Marathon artists we will send a different example of our creative process and work to everyone who sponsors us, 3-5 days per week during April. We invite our friends, family, colleagues and anyone else who cares about art and wants to support Bridge to Rutland’s important work to sponsor us. Together we will help welcome new Americans who, in turn, will add immeasurably to our communities.

Ruth Anne‘s Background

I've been involved with art in one way or another since I was small. Upon retirement I began to paint more regularly. My manual dexterity is not what it was but my brain still works well at 81. I strongly support the goals of Bridge to Rutland and want to do what I can to counterbalance the current climate of our beloved country.
