Ruppert is an honoree of the\nPeggy A.

Most recently\, she supported the\nMayor of the Village of Hazel Crest and the new 2023 Arts Committee.\nRuppert is thankful to God for her gifts and is the illustrator of a recently published children’s\nbook —The Place Where I Belong—by Candice Klopfenstein.\nRuppert’s art and music will be featured in upcoming exhibitions at the Harold Washington\nLibrary Center\, The Chicago Public Library North Austin Branch Library and now the Octagon\nCenter for the Arts in Ames\, Iowa in 2024.\nRuppert is well known at the frontlines of the artivist community and seeks to uplift her entire\ncommunity with artistic expression. Like African American sculptor\, Elizabeth Catlett\, Ruppert\naims to “do something for the betterment of all of us.”
