Join us in welcoming a new Storytime rug to the SDMA Library and meet the artist who made it! 

To bring the essence of nature into the SDMA Library local multimedia artist and author Katie Ruiz has created a Storytime rug inspired by the foliage of the sculpture garden and the rich colors found in the library. Come listen to a reading of her book Brian the Wildflower while enjoying the lush rug.

Installations have been created for the City of San Diego, the Women’s Museum of California, Oceanside Museum of Art, Institute of Contemporary Art San Diego, TedX San Diego, and more. Ruiz holds a Master of Fine Art from the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture and a bachelor’s degree from Northern Arizona University.
