A proud resident, artist, informal educator, and naturalist in Baltimore City, I began with a 1" button machine and a desire to paint more than my museum job would allow. My work has grown from painting and pin-making, to reclaimed jewelry, flower pressing, and hand-painted accessories. Magan Ruthke: Art & Design is a mini-boutique. A place where all of my interests come together to be shared, with the endangered key deer as my mascot and most endearing subject.
