romy owens: How long have you been an artist?
Maryruth Prose: I have been doing art since I was about 6 yrs old. We are all born to produce art in some form, somehow.
ro: What is your preferred media for your artwork, and why?
MP: Fiber, actually thread because I have been working with it since I was about 6 yrs. old, I am comfortable with it and it responds to my touch. Besides, I can dye it any color I want.
ro: Is this your first year in Vision Makers?
MP: This is my first year.
ro: How does an exhibition like Vision Makers affect your art and/or career?
MP: The exhibition doesn't really effect my art or my career; I weave because I love it and do it regardless.
ro: Who or what are your primary artistic influences?
MP: Rachel Brown and Rebecca Bluestone are primary influences, also Peter Collingswood. Color influences me: I want to dye THAT color.
ro: What challenges do you face in making art?
MP: There are no challenges. There is my imagination and creating it in my art along with the color I love.
ro: Where can people you don't know see more of your artwork?
MP: People can see more of my work at my house, at Cameron University, and at about 200 private homes throughout the United States.
