This Boscobel, Wisconsin watercolor artist loves to portray the innocence and wonder of children and the wisdom and character of the elderly, and has been doing so for over thirty years.

She attempts to go beyond the outward physical appearance to the inner thoughts and moods of her subject matter.  The main theme of her paintings is the love and dignity of all people...from the very young, to the very old.

Ruchti comments, "due to the spontaneity and beautiful transparency of watercolor, I feel this is the perfect medium for painting portraits."

Ruchti studied under well-known Chicago portrait and character artist, Joseph Fettingis.  She has painted over seventy commissioned portraits and is certified by the American Portrait Society.

She is a juried member of the Wisconsin Watercolor Society, Wisconsin Painters & Sculptors, Madison Watercolor Society, and the Madison Art Guild.  Her paintings of Ronald Reagan and Tommy Thompson hang in their respective collections.
