About the Artist

​

Growing up, Ruth was surrounded by creators.  She was rarely seen without some creative tool in hand- a marker, pencil, brush, or pastel. Today, that creative impulse continues, expanded to include a well-worn toolbox filled with scissors, X-Acto knives, brushes, glues, matte mediums and paints.

​

Ruth currently resides in Toronto and works in Collage and Mixed Media, delving into the boundless possibilities of repurposed and upcycled paper and cut-up imagery to construct new visual narratives.

 

Her process is intuitive and explores various anecdotes inspired by human experience, love, loss, world travels, music, poems and literature. 

​

Her work has been exhibited internationally, including in the U.K., Scotland, Spain, Finland, Greece, Indonesia, New York, and Estonia. She has contributed to a range of international art publications, including Canada’s own KOLAJ magazine.

​

Most recently, Ruth’s work was selected for a juried collage exhibition at the University of Architecture in Portland, Oregon.​​
