Tiburon Heritage & Arts Commission is very pleased to be sponsoring an artist’s reception for the artwork of Lee Ruggles on January 22, 6-8 pm in the Council Chambers of the Town Hall, 1505 Tiburon Boulevard.  As with all of our art openings, this reception is free and open to the public.

Mr. Ruggles began painting with watercolors thirty years ago after retiring as an art director in the advertising field.  He chose to work with watercolors because it is a “clean medium, with no fumes to breathe.”  His exquisitely crafted flower paintings, larger than life, burst with precise detail and vibrant color.  This show will be on display in the Council Chambers and the Town Hall Lobby until the end of February.
