Ruth Gila creates original Judaic oil paintings. She has amassed a rich oeuvre of portraits and mystically inspired paintings. A native of Morocco, she was educated in France but did not discover her true artistic talent until she re-located in Los Angeles. As an outgrowth of the soul searing nature of her work she embarked on a spiritual journey which led her to Jerusalem. Portraits of holy Jewish figures steam forth from her studio, as she truly captures their essences.
