New exhibit open at Greenfield Banking Co.
GREENFIELD — Ruth Howell’s watercolors will be on display in Greenfield Banking Co.’s main office second-floor art gallery, 1920 N. State St., now through the end of October.
Howell, a watercolor artist, appreciates how the paints have a way of mixing and resisting each other on paper. She enjoys creating abstracts and finding inspiration in the shapes that form when she drops paint on the page. Ruth has been painting seriously since 1995, studying with many well-known Indiana artists.
She belongs to several art organizations, including the Indiana Artist Club, Watercolor Society of Indianapolis, Southside Art League and the Hoosier Salon. The public is invited to view Ruth’s artwork in the gallery during normal business hours.
