Opening Reception for "Southern Tableau"


Sunday, November 1, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. the State Botanical Garden of Georgia is hosting a FREE opening reception for "Southern Tableau," an exhibition featuring paintings of lush landscapes by Joe M. Ruiz. 

Ruiz was born and raised in Arizona. He realized young that he was a good artist and found that art was one of the best ways to express himself. After high school, he settled in California and received formal training in art from the Santa Barbara Community College and then at the San Francisco Art Institute.  Ruiz met his wife in San Francisco and later moved to Watkinsville, Ga., to raise a family. 

He currently paints scenes he sees on a daily basis and tries to capture the pure beauty of the Georgia countryside. Come out and view the beautiful works of Joe Ruiz with us this Sunday!
