During her recuperation she started to draw and studied under famous American abstract painter Robert Motherwell, who was teaching at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at the time. By the 1950s, her career as an abstract expressionist painter was blooming. She was one of Colorado’s most visible and avant-garde artists. Ruth married Littleton Todd, a poet and a woodworker. In 1953, Todd traveled to Europe (Paris, France) to study art and to paint. Littleton Todd opened a design studio in Denver where he manufactured and sold modern furniture.

She showed at numerous Gilpin County Art Exhibitions, the Denver Art Museum, the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, Colorado Women’s College, the University of Colorado, Boulder, the Colorado State Fair, and the Jewish Community Center. Among the Colorado Modernists that she exhibited with were Vance Kirkland, Frank Vavra...

Gladiolus. Flower impressionist oil painting, Framed. Original by Simon Kozhin
By Simon Kozhin
Located in Zofingen, AG
In crafting this piece, I channeled my reverence for nature’s elegance into each stroke. The interplay of impressionism and realism breathes life into the oil medium, capturing the delicate essence of the bloom. It's a spirited dance of texture and light, meant to evoke a sense of tranquility and contemplation in any space it inhabits. Through these blossoms, I share with you a moment of serene beauty, forever preserved in vibrant hues and dynamic contrasts. A flower with a beautiful structure, delicate color and plastic forms. The very perfection of nature. This creation can be admired endlessly.
