PRINTMAKER PROFILE
ARTIST STATEMENT
Ruth has loved drawing and painting since childhood. Born in Nottingham, Ruth has worked in Scotland and Yorkshire and London where she currently resides.
In 2017, Ruth attended a printmaking class in etching at Thames-side Print Studio, becoming a member in 2018. Her practise incorporates drawing into hard ground to create the initial image, using her inherited dipping pens which achieve a lovely effect at this stage of the image, she then applies aquatint, followed by burnishing.
Ruth’s still life series of fruit has been very well received, with 3 prints showing at Woolwich Print Fair and 2 on the rack of a local gallery. Her work has been on display in the mini print exhibition at Southbank Printmakers in 2023 and at The Gallery at Green & Stone in Chelsea in their Works On Paper Exhibition in 2024.
