Ruth is an artist and illustrator based in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. She has a BA of Illustration and has illustrated for a short film, a children’s book, done numerous logo designs and is currently working on a graphic novel. Ruth’s art is influenced by the likes of John Wolseley, Adam Lee, and the impressionist movement. Ruth tries to create art that celebrates the themes of femininity, identity, relationships, Australian flora and fauna, and fashion, as well as exploring points of tension within them. She uses mixed media but usually uses watercolours and gouache for her paintings, as well as pencil portraits and mono-printing.
