Ruth Irvine - Ontario Artist
Being an artist is about who I am; more than it's about what I do; and ironically, that's something that I've learned since painting full time.

Art is the distillation of my feelings and thoughts – it is the concentration of those parts of myself that are intrinsic and yet, beyond and/or prior to the talking. Pursuing an art career has provided me a wonderful tool with which I can create tangible proofs of my human and spiritual experience.

My choice of materials, acrylics, oil sticks, encaustic medium, through the process of creation and completion of a work, expand my awareness and rightfully, humbles me in a universe bigger than any colour, any sound, any word.
