"KC Ruoss' much sought after talent was developed by virtue of 25 years of introspective personal development.  Much of her work reflects the intense admiration and study she has made of some of her favorite water color artists (Andrew Wyeth, Peter Sculthorpe, Steve Hanks) yet speaks of a very personal style drawn out of her rich past." -- Dave Brown, art critic

Signed prints-her water colors are warm and have a nostalgic tone to them

"Kathleen Cope Ruoss ... was able to develop her own style of painting contributing to her success.  There is something that's almost nostalgic about her paintings." -- From a Feature Article in US Art, March 1996

Prints-she often paints the Amish and Mennonite cultural themes

"When looking at Kathleen Cope Ruoss' work, you do feel peace and love.  You can feel a sense of the "simpler" times.  Many of her paintings feel like "home" to many people.  The Details are exquisite, the colors true, capturing a moment in life that would otherwise be lost forever." -- The Pottstown Mercury, 1996
