About Ruth

I live on British Columbia, Canada’s beautiful Sunshine Coast. I work in soft pastels, acrylics, oils, watercolours, and mixed media. My usual style is best described as ‘naturalism,’ which seeks to represent how the human eye and brain perceive the world—with occasional side trips into abstract and contemporary approaches! I am inspired by, and hope that my work will help viewers to see, the beauty in the everyday world.

I have studied with many excellent Canadian and American artists, and hope to have integrated their teachings into my own distinctive style.

I am a Master Pastelist within (and former President of) the Pastel Artists Canada, and a member of the (former) Landing Artists Collective, the Coast Cultural Alliance, and an Exhibiting Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. I am on the Purple Banner Tour, and the Sunshine Coast Art Crawl.

I am also a writer of both fiction and non-fiction. My historical fiction works can be seen under ‘Books’ in the ‘Works’ section of this website, and my non-fiction articles can be found in a variety of art magazines including the Pastel Journal and Artists Magazine.

Enjoy!
