In 1983, she found herself at the Florida Gulf Coast Art Center, where she received valuable training and exposure to the world of art.
One significant aspect of Joffa's artistic journey was her study of stone sculpture under the instruction of Erik Pitsokos. This mentorship played a crucial role in shaping her artistic style and techniques.
In describing her artistic evolution, Joffa mentioned feeling a shift towards a more primitive style in her work. She expressed the idea that her art was coming from a place within her, as if she were tapping into a source of inspiration beyond herself. This transformation in her creative process allowed her to explore her art with a sense of fearlessness and openness, letting her artistic vision flow through her.
One notable moment in Joffa's career was when her work was featured at the Art Museum of the Americas, an organization of the Organization of American States, in July-August 1993. This exhibition in Washington, D.C., was a significant milestone that showcased her talent and artistic vision on a broader stage.
Overall, Ruth Joffa's career in sculpture is marked by her dedication to her craft, her willingness to explore different mediums and techniques, and her ability to tap into a primal and creative source of inspiration. Her work has been recognized and exhibited, leaving an indelible mark on the world of art.
