Ruth Mayer Gallery

What a pleasant surprise! Stop in at admire the variety and skill of Ruth Meyer. It’s right in the heart of Laguna Beach.

Amazing art! Never have seen an artist capable of creating beautifully in so many different styles. Ruth was there on the weekend day we walked in and she told us about the stories of some of her pieces. My favorite gallery in Laguna beach.

If you are truly into art and understand the true meaning of what’s behind every piece of art then I highly encourage you to visit this gallery specially when Ruth is there (normally for Artwalk). Her work of art is beyond imagination and she’s not in it for profit. Most of her work are not even for sell and are only for museums. Ruth is amazingly nice. She takes her time with every client no matter how young or old you are and how much you know about art. You will right away fall in love with personality.

we wandered in here because the paintings had great composition, colors, and lighting. glad we did cuz there was so much more inside!
ruth mayer is a local artist who has beautiful striking oil paintings. she seems like such a fun, quirky person from the pics although we did not meet her that day.
there is a long horizontal painting of NYC painted before ⁹⁄₁₁. it was coincidentally being displayed in the front window during the tragic time. she drew an angel in the background protecting the city. the city of new york owns it. when the new WTC building is built (fall 2013), this painting will be displayed there.
she was commissioned to paint for the pope too.
fun fact: ruth mayer is in each painting. she does this subtly. it’s like a «where’s ruth?» game. her grandson who works there says that there are still paintings where he hasn’t found her yet. heheh.

Great gallery. I had no intentions of visitng this gallery, but I definitely felt drawn into it as I was walking by. Very unique and inspiring art work. It’s one of those unqiue places where the longer you stare at a piece, the more you see.
Ruth is a cute quirky lady and the lady who works there, Shaun (sp?) has such a beautiful spirit. I will be visitng again.

Bright & quirky, this gallery is a only few steps away from the ocean near the main beach area in Laguna. Although not the typical ritzy gallery that you would expect (especially in a place like Laguna), the quality of Ruth’s work surpasses most other art galleries that I’ve been to. All of the art here is her work!
I’ve been to this particular gallery about 3 times. My first few visits were a few years ago; I remember walking through the gallery gathering my own interpretations of the beautiful art. Who knew there were so many different types of paintings? So many different textures of paints, and styles? Due to the assortment of painted art, I was initially under the impression that the gallery displayed the work of several different artists. By spending only a few minutes really examining her work, her incredible talent is evident through the obvious mastery of her skills as an artist. Her paintings contain messages, images, and other details that are not always obvious to the viewer. These hidden messages and details in her work are what will blow your mind! This was a characteristic of her work that I was not aware of until I met the artist, herself, in person!
This past weekend, my friend and I happened to stop in, and Ruth (the artist) and her husband were in the gallery giving a few customers personal tours. Not only that, but she had an easel set up and fresh paints on a palette by the entrance. She is the sweetest lady! I can’t say enough wonderful things about her and her husband. She told us that she was specifically requested to paint a portrait for Pope John Paul II. She is an amazing woman and artist!
My favorite painting of hers is rather new: titled «Tiger». If you stop in, it is a MUST see (with the proper lighting of course)!
So I guess my review speaks for itself. Meeting Ruth has left me inspired beyond belief. Hope you are lucky enough to meet her in person, like I was! ;)
