Ruth Lull arrived in the north woods from New York in 1987 when her husband Robert Parsonage became president of Northland College. Her transition from the art scene of the Big Apple to the rural aesthetic of the north came with an unexpected discovery; endless inspiration in outdoor landscapes.
In commemoration with her retirement from Northland College, Ruth has established a scholarship in her name to aid Northland students, many of whom are discovering the north woods for the first time much like Ruth did in the ’80s.
In addition to a monetary gift, you can make a unique contribution to this scholarship by purchasing one of her macro-style oil paintings from the gallery below.
