About the Artist:
Ruth Lauer-Manenti lives in a cabin in the woods in upstate New York. Her background is in painting and drawing, yet eight years ago, she was given a large format camera from someone she greatly admired. She taught herself how to use the camera and gradually accomplished what she was striving for in drawing and painting through photography. Ruth's mother was also an artist. She had a wealth of talent and worked steadily throughout her life, yet her number one role was to take care of her family. Her mother left behind a legacy of paintings and writings that sadly are still unknown and unpublished. Ruth realized now that her mother has passed away, it is part of her determination as an artist to reward her mother for her efforts and create a continuum. Since breaking her neck in a car crash at the age of twenty, Ruth has developed a spiritual life and practice and has adapted a way of life simpler and more ritualistic than she had known before.
