Flora and Fauna

Ruth's two loves are art and biology. In high school she had a scholarship to The Cleveland Art Institue but attended college on a National Science Foundation Grant. Now her artwork is in gold and biology is her hobby. Ruth is an American Orchid Society judge. She grow, judges and hybridizes orchids. She also raises true chameleons and a variety of plant species. Her jewelry often combines a sculpture of a flower with wildlife and gemstones from the same country.
