The current work of Ann Arbor based artist Maria Ruggiero focuses on the large and small events in daily life through the genre of still life. She creates complex compositions of objects and other elements that reflect aspects of her experiences, with an emphasis on those that relate to the development of her young son. Pattern, decoration, and the juxtaposition of objects with flat images are consistent elements in Ruggiero's paintings, as is her interest in light quality and color. She holds a BFA in Studio Art from Michigan State University, an MFA in Painting from Kent State University in Ohio, and she is Professor of Art at Eastern Michigan University.
