Ruth Shelton was an incredible artist, activist , friend and student of the Short Center North, passed away on Friday January 8th, 2010. Ruth did multiple paintings and art shows while @ Short Center North, painting in an impressionist style. Because of Ruth’s disabilities she did her whole catalog of work with a specially constructed headset. Ruth’s perseverance and determination to suceed is an inspiration to us all and she will be greatly missed .
