Collection: Ruth Taylor

Ruth's training as a textile designer has been an influence and is evident in her work. Her paintings are inspired as much by a love of colour and texture as by the English countryside, the moors and estuaries as well as the South Downs landscape of her childhood. She loads the canvas or board with paint, moving it around with brushes, combs, and even her hands, looking to capture a particular light or the effect of the weather and the seasons on the land.
