Ruth Vermeer

medium: Multi-media

Ruth Vermeer has a passion for the process of how various art forms are made. While she wishes she had followed her heart and become an art teacher she's grateful for the journey that's brought her full circle to her love. Her B.S. in Home Economics Education prepared her to teach at Artworks, while her M.S. in Parks and Recreation Administration prepared her for 20 years in the camping industry and then as Artworks former Education Director. She now enjoys the pleasure of teaching art to our Hope Network friends and many of our Summer Campers. Inspiration in her life comes from her family and community relationships, and when not creating art, enjoys the ongoing design of wildflower gardens, canning, and exploring our fantastic country while camping with her husband and silly bee-eating dog Cedar. A principle she learned during her early years at Artworks is, "we're all designed to be creative" - John Varineau Conductor GR Symphony. It's never too late to learn a new skill!
