Ruth Flaherty studied the local arts and crafts of various regions of the United States for more than thirty years. Her formal training in the fine arts began in 1965 in West Germany.
“One good art instructor was all it took”, claims 23 year Santa Fe resident, Russell Harvey Baldwin; one good teacher to unleash his natural ability and uncanny sense of color enabling him to hone his skills. Soft pastels, which offer pure pigments and an irresistible array of colors, have become his medium of choice.
My work involves using high-resolution digital photography and archival-quality photo printing to capture images of Santa Fe and the Southwest. Much of my photography is based on looking for interesting images that are just outside my front door.
