Before moving to Ashland, NY, in 2015, Ritva Babcock spent over thirty years in Charleston, South Carolina. For a period, she lived in a 200 year old home, where she gardened and painted plein air (outdoors), or from her kitchen window, as pictured in slide two, above.

These works are on view in: CREATE IN RETROSPECT: Ritva Babcock, an exhibition of works on paper spanning more than five decades, from the 1970s to the present.

Working intuitively across watercolor, graphite, and ink, Babcock has returned throughout her career to subjects including music, mathematics, memory, place, and her Finnish heritage.

For sales and other inquiries, please email [email protected], or visit the link in our bio.
