It's all about identity - Well done Ruth Faerber!

Ruth reinvented herself as an artist
in her 80's to employ new technology
such as inkjet printers

Hi R and other inspiring women
From our local paper, The Mosman Daily - 'Portrait of lady as reborn artist'  written by Kate Crawford.


Thanks Kate, for your inspiring article on Ruth Faerber - she's 88 and has no intention of retiring and giving up her identity as an artist. She is exhibiting her work at Artarmon Galleries alongside works on paper by late artist John Coburn.  She says, "I find it oddly engaging that the passage of time is represented  by the generation links in the show." 

The exhibition features Faerber's recent digital prints - she reinvented herself as an artist about six years ago to employ new techniques such as inkjet printers.  "I discovered amazing things that could not be done in other ways - the result is not a photograph  but a graphic." she says.

The exhibition continues until next Tuesday, November 9, at Artarmon Galleries at 479 Pacific Highway, Artarmon.  I can feel a 'walk with a purpose' looming on Sunday.

ps - Hope we can be written up in the local paper when we are 88. Inkjet/photoshop/etc  Grannies? 
Well done Ruth!
