In addition to coaching and writing, Ruth Davis creates art with found and recycled objects. She has used boxes and drawers to create storybooks and altars, and turned cardboard and paper into a series of 82 shoes that explore the idea that our shoes reflect how we walk through life. Ruth is currently engaging with the colorful and mindful practice of fabric collage.
