Working with Ruth
I will work with you to discuss the painting's theme, colour palette and size. I also have plenty of ideas on how to interpret your client’s brief for their home or commercial interior.
I have earned a BA Honours Degree from Winchester School of Art and have over 20 years' experience in painting. I choose the medium of oil paint for its luminous and luxurious finish.
Connecting people to nature inspires my art practice, as we are part of nature. My paintings aim to uplift and inspire people, a tonic for the velocity of modern life.
Art portfolio
Below you'll find a selection of original paintings, making up my art portfolio.
Sunrise
Size: 70cm x 100cm
Medium: Oil on canvas
Sold 2022, Brighton, UK
Description: Sunrise painting was inspired by a trip to Kew Gardens. The lily house is incredible and inspired me to capture the light and atmosphere on a summers day. On that day of visiting I felt the power of nature to adapt to its surroundings, and its resilience, with the leaves turned to face the sun, hence the title Sunrise. This artwork is a burst of energy and evokes the power of nature within us all.
