Ruth Doerschuk Dicker (March 9, 1919 – December 2, 2004) was a California painter of landscapes.

Personal life

Ruth Doerschuk was born in Niagara Falls, New York, on March 9, 1919. She had a sister named Anne.[1][1] She received private lessons in oil painting between the ages of nine and twelve.{{citation needed|date=February 2014}}

Doerschuk met her husband, Ralph Dicker, in New York and they were married on August 25, 1942, in California. They raised their sons Thomas and Scott in Palo Alto, California.[1]

Education

She went to Salem Academy{{citation needed|date=February 2014}} and then studied art history and painting and graduated from College of William and Mary in 1940.[1][2] She moved to New York City where she studied at the New York School of Fine and Applied Art[1] and at the Art Students League under Ernest Fiene.{{citation needed|date=February 2014}}

Career

While in New York, Dicker worked as a freelance illustrator, a fashion model[1] and a draftsman for Sperry Gyroscope. In 1970, Dicker moved to Bennett Ridge, Santa Rosa, California, where she found her most recognizable style in depicting the landscapes of Sonoma County.[1]

Throughout her career, her work was shown in galleries, museums, corporate offices in New York City and in and around the San Francisco Bay area.[1] She participated in one woman or group shows at the Legion of Honor, the Oakland Museum of California, and Stanford University.[1] Her style includes vibrant acrylic colors, splatters of paint and strips of wood covered in rice-paper to give dimensionality and texture.{{citation needed|date=February 2014}}

After her husband died in 1980, she enjoyed the most productive years of her career. In 1983, Dicker traveled with a group of California artists led by Earl Thollander to China. She enjoyed the art of the Southwest United States and often traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico.{{citation needed|date=February 2014}}

Her notable paintings include the large paintings depicting the seasons in the dining room of The Nut Tree (now closed) in Vacaville, California, and a {{convert|24|ft|m|adj=mid|-wide}} wood mural at the Yosemite Art and Education Center, now the Valley Wilderness Center.[1][3]

Dicker died on December 2, 2004, when she was living Santa Rosa, California.[4][5]
