Ruth LaGue – Minimal form. Emotional resonance. Abstract landscapes.

My paintings honor the quiet resilience and enduring beauty of rural life—farmhouses and barns standing as timeless symbols of heritage, set against open fields and rolling hills. Through layered textures and expressive color, I explore the deep, dynamic bond between people and the land.
