Kari Ganoung Ruiz
Bio:
Being raised at the edge of the Finger Lakes National Forest in Central New York State set the stage for Kari’s deep connection to the natural landscape. After receiving a degree in Fine Art, she worked as a faux finisher, muralist, and owned a picture framing studio and boutique gallery with her husband Diego; a stereo photographer, wood, and glass artist.
In 2014, Kari began to focus on painting outside, “en plein air”; feeling the need to learn about light and shadow directly from the natural world. Based in Interlaken NY, the couple now travel the country painting and photographing their adventure. Whether having a stare down with a wolf in Yellowstone, rolling down the palm tree and sea grape lined A1A in Florida, or sleeping through a tornado in Missouri… it’s always an adventure!
