Billie Ruth Sudduth
Billie Ruth Stewart was born
in Sewanee, Tennessee in 1945. She earned a B.A. in Psychology/Sociology from
Huntingdon College, in Montgomery in 1967 and her M.S.W. from the University of
Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 1969. From 1966-1989 she was a
medical/psychiatric social worker or school psychologist.
In 1983 Billie Ruth began
weaving. Until 1989 she combined and integrated her two careers. As a
basket aker she is primarily self-taught and has won several awards for her
work. Billie Ruth teaches her basket making skills to eager participants around
the U.S. She has operated her business JABOBS, Just A Bunch Of Baskets, in New
Bern, NC, Las Vegas, Nevada, Wilmington, NC and Bakersville, NC where she
currently resides.
This collection was given to
William Madison Randall Library, UNC Wilmington, Wilmington, North Carolina by
Billie Ruth Sudduth in the fall of 2003. The main body of the collection, boxes
1-29, encompass her professional career as an artist and basketmaker from
1983-2003. A copy of her resume precedes this section. Also included in the
inventory, boxes 30-34, are photos and personal ephemera that cover Billie
Ruth’s life from the mid-1940s, her public school years, as a student at
Huntingdon College, and through graduation from the University of Alabama in
1969. There are a few photos of her parents and other relatives as early as the
1930s.
Billie Ruth wrote many personal
comments throughout her photo albums. Unfortunately, many of the comments could
not be preserved because of the very nature of gluing photos and mementos
directly onto both sides of the fragile album paper. Where necessary, personal
comments have been typed and presented with the appropriate photos and other
personal ephemera.
Received from Billie Ruth Sudduth 2003 with
subsequent additions.
There are no access restrictions on this collection.
