ABOUT

Developing ideas from sketches into bold, abstract prints and paintings, Ruby creates textural, free-flowing works that capture movement and sound through mark making and use of colour. She varies her techniques in response to each subject, often experimenting by mixing methods to build intricate textures, patterns, and shapes throughout her pieces.

Her latest carborundum prints respond to the churning of clay earth, the ripple of water against wood, and the evening light over the North Sea. These pieces reflect her deep fascination with both the natural environment and farm machinery—particularly the dynamic relationship between these mechanical forms and the land they cultivate.

Originally from London, and after studying Printed Textiles at Edinburgh College of Art Ruby now lives with her husband and three children in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, which offers the perfect environment to explore her artistic interests. She works from her studio while also a member at Sudbourne Park Printmakers near Orford, where she acts as a print technician and conducts workshops teaching adults.
