Ruby O'Degee is a documentary fim producer, oral storyteller, voice over actor (the voice of Madge), Cavern player and a stage set designer.
In her spare time she likes to bike ride, watercolor, paint with acrylics, bookbind, create Art Dolls, repurpose Books, raise intelligent cats (Limit 2), read novels, travel the metaverse, pilot her hot air balloons, repair her transit system and build conraptions.
Disclaimer: While Ruby loves to repurpose, she's not terribly interested in repairing much of anything. She only makes repairs and edits when its necessary. And cursing all the while.
Aside: Ruby agrees with her benefactor that reading is writing and writing is reading.
