Artist Client of the Month: Ruth H.

This month’s artist-client of the month is Ruth H.

“I am choosing Ruth Hensen as Artist-Client of the month for September because she is gentle and careing and she loves helping everyone.”

Teacher, Sharen Eninger

Ruth was born and raised in the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia, where she learned quilt making, crochetting and embroidery. Her love for quilt making lead to a blue ribbon at the fair! Her blue ribbon quilt was made of blocks of angels making music, playing different instruments. This special quilt was given to her first grandchild as a keepsake.

Ruth never painted until she started coming to We Care Arts. Her instructor at the time encouraged her to paint on a special project and she has loved painting ever since.

Ruth has set forth straightforward objectives for her art, which include guiding fellow artist-clients at We Care Arts in mastering the art of creating beautiful sewn items and producing additional nature-inspired paintings.

For many years, Ruth has been a regular attendee at We Care Arts. She cherishes the sense of belonging to a warm and affectionate community where everyone cares deeply for each other.
