(Here's the review I wrote for Newcity )











This exhibit commemorates
the publication of the above biography
"Warm Light, Cool Shadows"
by Nancy Smith Hopp.





In addition to about 30 paintings,
this exhibit also has a display
of memorabilia,
including the above photo
of Ruth teaching.




and a view inside her famous "Round House"
designed by Bruce Goff






Here's an aerial view
lifted from Google Maps.





This painting is called "The Mask",
and I think it's a self portrait.
(but that's only my guess)
