Ruth’s work reflects her interest in her local woodland landscape and the sea when illuminated by failing light and the moon to expose the traces left by past inhabitants.

​

Preferred sites are constantly revisited, re-worked and re-ordered with her explorations investigating beyond the evident as she seeks to reveal images as ciphers and signs of the unknown.

​

She works in a studio in the middle of a wood where she produces her etchings, paintings and collages.

​

Ruth’s gesso panels and paintings have an immediacy derived from the physicality of layering, scratching and scraping while her prints capture the essence of place, combining layers of images and memories.

​

Her multi-layered screen-prints are hand-printed at The Print Block on a farm overlooking the Swale Estuary.After years as a textile designer she changed direction to a Fine Artist after taking an MA in Fine Art. Her textile roots are still evident in the texture and pattern elements of her work.
