Ruth Anderson Retrospective
Exhibition: March 8 - 29, 2026
Reception: March 8, 2 - 4 p.m.
The Creative Arts Center of Bonham
200 West 5th Street
Bonham, Texas
Please join us in the celebration in the life and works of DAFA member Ruth Anderson.
Everyday items, repurposed . . . discarded tidbits of metal and plastic found along street curbs and in parking lots . . . myriads of buttons, fabric pieces, clothespins ... and nature's bounty of nuts, seed pods, and spent blooms: these are the components that, in the hands of 96-year-old artist Ruth Anderson, become "potential" for her whimsical artworks which beckon a second and third look from the viewer.
The Artful Life and Works of Ruth Anderson will feature quilts, baskets, origami jewelry, mixed-media constructions, and more.
