Ruby Haydock DeLoach is a retired educator who received a B. A. from Winthrop University, a MEd. & EdD. from the University of South Carolina. Initially, she worked six years for the SC Department of Mental Retardation; then, 25 years in School District Five of Lexington and Richland Counties and ended with six years in Newberry County School District.

Ruby paints in oils and watercolors and has just begun to explore acrylics. When she found the word ART in the middle of pARTy, she established The Art Party Gallery in 2007. To her painting is an Art Party. Passionate feelings direct her brush. Works are inspired by memories, travels, antiques, landscapes, wild flowers, garden flowers and critters that inhabit her yard.

Being juried into a variety of art shows is rewarding. Two most recent shows are Carolina’s Got Art, a new venue using the format of the Spring’s Mill Show, and The South Carolina State Fair. Ruby finds it a joy to be a part of Palmetto Fine Arts’ focus on the talents of artists in the local Chapin Community. Join the artists November 5-8 at the next show.
