Biography:

Ruth Weisberg (b. 1942, Chicago) is an American artist and educator whose career spans more than six decades. A graduate of the University of Michigan (B.Ed., 1964; M.F.A., 1965) with additional studies in Perugia and Paris, Weisberg is known for her paintings, drawings, prints, and large-scale installations that explore memory, Jewish heritage, and the roles of women. Her projects often weave personal history with cultural narratives, including her 94-foot drawing The Scroll, a landmark in Jewish feminist art.

Weisberg has presented over 80 solo exhibitions and participated in nearly 200 group shows worldwide. Her work is included in more than 60 museum collections, among them the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the National Gallery of Art, LACMA, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris. She served as Dean of USC’s Roski School of Art and Design from 1995 to 2010 and founded the Jewish Artists Initiative of Southern California. Her honors include the College Art Association’s Distinguished Teaching of Art Award, the Women’s Caucus for Art Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Foundation for Jewish Culture’s Cultural Achievement Award.
