Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC) is proud to present Ruth Mordecai, Early Work: 1970-2000. The special exhibit is a fundraiser to support the Rocky Neck Art Colony and its residency program called the Goetemann Artist Residency.
Ruth Mordecai’s long and illustrious career began with an exploration of the figure. Her work in sculpture, drawing, collage and painting has gradually become more abstracted, as she discovered her own personal visual language. This exhibit offers work never seen in Gloucester, and a chance to witness the origins of one of our most distinguished artist’s journey over 30 years.
Ruth’s home studio is on Rocky Neck overlooking Smith Cove. She has been involved with the Goetemann Artist Residency since 2005, when it was founded by Gordon Goetemann. Ruth is a cherished member of the community, as a mentor and stalwart advocate to the many artists and galleries on Rocky Neck. She has offered this exhibit as a fundraiser and will include many of her small drawings, and some large figurative collages, as well as a painting by Gordon Goetemann given by his son David Goetemann.
