Dedication

Special thanks to my loving parents, Dorothy and Earvin Ruddick, who have supported my artistic efforts throughout my life. They launched my love of art with art classes at age five. They put up with the mess of paints, clay, and plaster throughout my college years. Dad was always ready to create frames in his woodshop to showcase my artistic productions. Mom, who is a fine artist on her own, was always ready with supportive comments and advice. They alone have seen the thread of art run through my entire life. Their presence in my life has been such a joy and blessing.
