This Week - Jane Carroll
A: I enjoyed writing in high school and considered a journalism major for college but it didn’t seem as practical as my original choice of nursing. So I became a nurse and a closet writer. I kept that up until about five years ago when I realized that I wanted to write much more than I wanted to be a nurse.

A: I’ve always been an avid reader. My mother likes to tell the story from when I was 2 years old and she didn’t have time to read to me. I’d take the book, sit on the floor and hold the book upside down while I read to myself. I’d memorized the story! When I was in junior high my best friend and I wrote short stories and poems. I would say that’s when the dream was born. My junior high (through high school) best friend and I are still in touch and I found an old notebook with a collection of our stories in it. She was so excited to see them again!
“Cosmic Consciousness”, a series of oil, acrylic, and enamel paintings created by Ruth Silnes many years before actual photos were available from space, shows us uncanny portraits of the splendor of the cosmos.
The exhibition opens June 4 and closes July 31 in the Caldwell Gallery, 500 County Center, in Redwood City. Gallery hours are 9 to 5 Monday through Friday.
Ruth Silnes, painted this series in the 70’s and early 80’s, while the nation anticipated the first voyage to the moon and speculated on the wonders of outer space.. Ruth was probably the most surprised to find that many of the images sent back to Earth by the Hubbell telescope closely resembled the wild imaginings of those long-ago studio days.
The oil paintings are on canvas, but the enamels are painted on masonite using a number of techniques Ruth developed the hard way experimenting until she got the images she had visualized.
