About Me

About The Artist

Ruth always had a marker, pencil, brush, or pastel in her hand as a child. Today, add to that, a large toolbox filled with scissors, x-acto knives and loads of sticky glue and matte mediums.

Currently, she explores Collage and Mixed Media and the infinite ways of repurposing paper and imagery to compose a completely new narrative. Ruth cuts, paints, deconstructs, texturizes, layers and rips it up, then finds the narrative or thread that makes it all fit together again.

Ruth's work has been recognized internationally in countries such as the U.K., Scotland, Spain, Finland, Greece, Indonesia, New York and Estonia.

She has contributed to International publications, as well as Canada’s own KOLAJ magazine,

Ruth's most recent achievement was exhibiting work for a juried Collage Exhibition at the University of Architecture in Portland, Oregon.
