Ruth Smilan
Photography / Note Cards

I have spent the last thirty years perfecting my photography skills using both color and black and white, in both darkroom and digital processing. As an outdoor enthusiast, I concentrate primarily on landscape, nature and architectural photography. I also look for lines, shapes and shadows in interesting still life and take the occasional informal portrait and pet portrait

I was born and raised in Ohio and worked in Ohio in software for 30 years.  At the beginning of 2011, I moved to Petaluma, California. I appreciate Meredith keeping me on as a Sunbear artist, with my note cards representing my current work.  All photos can be enlarged to any size up to 17x22” for matting and/or framing.
