Ruthe Blalock Jones

Ruthe Blalock Jones (born 1939) is a Delaware-Shawnee-Peoria painter and printmaker from Oklahoma.

[1] Ruthe Blalock Jones was born on June 8, 1939, in Claremore, Oklahoma.

Her art career began much earlier, when she was ten years old and a student under Charles Banks Wilson.

She works in oil, acrylic, watercolor, pen and ink, and pencil as well as printing monotypes.

... She pays acute attention to authenticity in detail of dress and the ceremonial aspects of traditional tribal life, and some of her paintings could easily be her childhood recollections," writes art historian Dr. Mary Jo Watson (Seminole).
