About the Exhibit

In Creative Flow, France Ruhnke uses paper, canvas, fabric, gold leaf, paint, ink, natural flowers, feathers, egg shells, vintage French literature, maps, and wire to explore the delicate essence of nature’s flow. Her uplifting, ethereal work is remarkable for its exploration of movement, colors, light, and transparency.
