It's all about identity - and not retiring

Hi Babyboomers 
It's all about identity - and not retiring.  Well done Ruth Faerber!

Ruth reinvented herself as an artist
in her 80's to employ new technology
such as inkjet printers






From our local paper, The Mosman Daily - 'Portrait of lady as reborn artist' written by Kate Crawford.


Thanks Kate, for your inspiring article on Ruth Faerber - she's 88 and has no intention of retiring and giving up her identity as an artist. She is exhibiting her work at Artarmon Galleries alongside works on paper by late artist John Coburn. She says, "I find it oddly engaging that the passage of time is represented by the generation links in the show."


The exhibition features Faerber's recent digital prints - she reinvented herself as an artist about six years ago to employ new techniques such as inkjet printers. "I discovered amazing things that could not be done in other ways - the result is not a photograph but a graphic." she says.


The exhibition continues until next Tuesday, November 9, at Artarmon Galleries at 479 Pacific Highway, Artarmon. I can feel a 'walk with a purpose' looming on Sunday.

  1. Hi Ruth
    I went to the gallery but it was closed. Will try to make it on Tuesday but if not, know that I admire your work.
