Ruth Manerva Bennett 1899 - 1960

Born in Momence, Illinois, Ruth Bennett studied art at the Art Students League in New York City before moving to Los Angeles in the 1920's. In LA, she studied at the Chouinard and Otis Art Institutes with Emily Mocine, Armin Hansen, Karoly Fulop, Vysekal Schroeder, and Millard Sheets.
