Ruby Williams used to make signs and paintings at her produce stand to lure in the customers and lure them in she didbut they wanted to buy her paintings, not her fruits and vegetables! The produce stand is now covered with artwork and Ruby is there to greet visitors in her paint-covered bibs and lively personality. The work is acrylic on board with child-like images of people and often-times a message. Her business card boasts of her three callings: artist, produce sales, and preacher. Her work has been exhibited at the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland and the Mennello Folk Art Museum in Orlando.<BR><br><br> <center><a href=index.html> Back to Artists List </a></CENTER></FONT> </BODY>
