Ruth retired in February, 2015, after 30 years of teaching, research and service in the Department of Health Promotion and Education in the Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina, Columbia. Retirement afforded her the opportunity to begin writing creative nonfiction in earnest after years of dabbling. In addition to focusing on writing, Ruth is also a visual artist and has worked for about four years with oil, oil pastel, gouache, graphite, collage, and mixed media. She plans to combine her passions for literary and visual arts. Her current goal is to develop professionally as a creative nonfiction writer and to write, illustrate and publish a collection of memories and stories about growing up in rural Lowcountry South Carolina in the 1950s and 1960s.
