Ruth Rifka Abrams

I define myself as an expressionist painter with some predilection for character portraits, working in mixed media.  My paintings have shown at venues like the Pen & Brush Gallery in New York, Polk Community College in Florida, the Upstream People’s Gallery’s “FACES” Exhibition, the Beechwood Museum in Cleveland, Atelier Lukacs in Montreal (with whom I was affiliated), and various juried exhibitions of The Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour. 

I am also a writer. My poetry and short stories have been showcased on CBC ANTHOLOGY and published in magazines like Fiddlehead, Tamarack, Branching Out, Room of One’s Own, Descant, Contemporary Verse 2, and in international anthologies. A first book of poems has been published, and I am completing a second collection.
