Bio:

Ruthie Moccia works in oil, acrylic, pastels, and photography. Her photographs are sometimes embellished with oil paint. She has taught art in the public school and at the Lawrence, KS Art Center.

She has received awards for her entries in the Five State Photography Exhibition (Hayes, KS), Riverbend Art Festival (Atchison, KS), Visions Photography Show, Columbia Art League, Boone County Art Show, Art St. Louis, and St. Louis Women’s Caucus for Art. Her portfolio was accepted into the archives at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in the year 2000.
