Watercolors

Shirley Ruggiero's art originated in textiles and needlework followed by an academic training in fine
arts, drawing, and painting. She often combines painting with textiles, embellishing, manipulating
materials and adding found objects. Much of her work focuses on themes that are important to her
such as nature, environment, sea life, country life, and still life with textiles. She has exhibited at
solo and group shows throughout New Jersey and New York, winning awards. For information about
