RUTH OWENS OLD METAIRIE VISUAL ARTIST Ruth Owens Art

Describe what you love about what you do. I love being able to tap into an inner voice to create art that is both visually appealing and carries a message. Why in New Orleans? The art scene in New Orleans began to undergo a renaissance after Katrina, with the opening of a myriad of boundary- pushing artist-run spaces along the St. Claude corridor in the Bywater. These galleries provide opportunities for emerging and underrepresented artists to exhibit and interact with the public. I belong to an artist collective called "The Front," which boasts a majority of women artists and exhibits every month.
