ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ruby Agnew (1899-1984) was born in San Diego and demonstrated artistic talent early in life. An art major, she graduated with honors and now, a retired floral designer, she has for the past ten years, dedicaled her life to oil and water color painting.
Her subjects, in vivid color, express feeling for mountain, sea and desert... and old abandoned farms. The latter perhaps, suggesting a deep feeling for the past.
Among her teachers were Alfred Mitchel, Chester Burg, Ralph Love, Robert Landry, Stan Sowinski and Jean Chua Shen of the University of California at San Diego. And the combination of her talent, together with the efforts of these fine teachers, are reflected in her receiving awards from the California Women's Club, the San Diego Art Institute, The Carlsbad Show, best in the Mission Bay Art Festival, Southwest Art Gallery and the San Diego Federated Women's Club.
Ruby Agnew also teaches the Los Artistos Art Group and holds private classes.
Her art membership include the San Diego Watercolor Society, Coronado Art Guild, Southwestern Artists Associa-tion, San Diego County Art Mart Association, Del Gardens Arts and Crafts Guild, San Diego County Art Club, The Fine Arts Association, Artisans of San Diego, National City Art Association, East County Art Association, Mission Bay Art Guild, Foothills Art Association and The Fine Arts Society of San Diego.
