Ruth Bierer

Oil Paintings

Past owner of an antique shop and health food store, Ruth Bierer hails from Western Pennsylvania.

She attended Chatham College in Pittsburgh where she studied sculpting -- her first love.

After the birth of her second child, she took up oil painting, taking classes at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh to develop her technique.

She and her husband moved to Clarke County in 2008 to be closer to grandchildren. She draws inspiration for her paintings from the quiet moments and commonplace beauty of everyday life.
