Ruth Kates is a Boston area painter who has exhibited locally and won many prizes, among them the Grumbacher medal in 1995. Her work reflects her interest in people, the landscape and the quintessential "still life".

From the time she was a child attending Saturday classes at the Museum of Fine Arts until the present, art has always been the golden thread woven into the fabric of her life.

She was an early bloomer with a late start. Summer courses and part time painting were always a vital issue for her. The decision to enter art school when her daughter was in high school and her son in college was the effect of much thoughtful deliberation and positive reinforcement from her husband. She received her graduate degree the same year as her son, and has been teaching and painting ever since.

Her studies with Paul Rahilly, Charles Movalli, and Arthur Polonsky have held a profound influence on her painting and philosophy.

Ruth feels that a picture should make a visual statement in a comprehensive manner, regardless of subject matter. Light and color, as the heartbeats of painting, are integral to the impact of the work transmitted from artist to viewer.

Ruth Kates's work is represented in private collections in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania and Paris.
