Ruth Lauer’s vibrant paintings capture the playfulness and shared rituals of summers spent at Austin’s community swimming pools. Her work evokes shimmering, sunlit moments that feel suspended in time. With a keen eye for color and composition, she depicts the shifting hues of water and the joyful chaos of public spaces. Lauer strives to celebrate community and poke fun at her own and humanity’s foibles.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until May 17.
