Ruth is an artist/maker based in Borth, Ceredigion. She works with British wool fibre using felt making techniques.
Her work is inspired by nature and particularly birds with her signature pieces her Quirky birds.
Ruth says "My work and ideas are very varied but there are common threads that tie everything together; my love of fibre (currently wool fibre), a desire to evoke a smile and to create work that is aesthetically pleasing, colour, lots of that. I enjoy the challenges of making and the freedom of following my own paths... also you might notice lots of birds!
I believe in the power of creativity to make a difference both personally and politically. I feel a sense of responsibility as an artist to inform and communicate, to this end I also make work highlighting issues of today, climate change, plastic pollution and consumerism. I exhibit at contemporary craft fairs and in galleries and teach regularly in the UK."
