Professional artist Ruthi Rolseth and her husband Scott have entertained and taught children in the Tampa Bay area for 25 years with their “Happy Faces” ministry/business. Ruthi appears as Sunflower the Clown, delighting children with face painting.

Art instruction was always a part of Ruthi’s curriculum in school.  She studied Old Master's techniques under the private tutelage of Sabastiano Mineo of Art Life School, NYC. Ruthi applied her artistic talents in teaching at a private school, and in advertising and display planning with private businesses.

Ruthi’s works in oils and acrylics have been exhibited throughout Florida, including Potter's Wax Museum in St. Augustine and Channel WEDU in Tampa.
