Ruthie Carlson’s love for painting runs deep—long before she had a studio, she was creating in the closet of her childhood home.

A lifelong artist and mostly self-taught painter, Ruthie’s work is rooted in joy, gratitude, and the belief that art is meant to be shared. She finds purpose not only in the act of painting but also in the relationships it builds—welcoming others into her creative life through classes, conversation, and community.
