About Ruth

I am Ruth Farris a abstract realism artist who loves painting nature with lots of vibrant color!

A little about me, my love of nature was first introduced as a pre-teen going on my first camping trip and enjoying the quiet-filled moments praying amongst the trees. As I grew up it was one of the rare moments of peace in life. That remembrance of tranquility and peace in my childhood was crucial in the coming years!

If you know anything about me, I have had my own struggles with mental health thoughout my life I fought hard for and struggled with healing! All while growing and strengthening in my faith learning to treasure the people who poured love and grace in my life. Now I am in a position to speak and share about that journey through my art! Showing how the hills and valleys molded me into the person I am today!

Now a little bit about my art process!

I love to play with spray-paints and acrylics, but just as important is the oil stage which adds layers and depth to my art! It adds that last punch I need! In my art there is often a memory or a specific emotion I am trying to communicate to others. Hopefully my art can leave others inspired, motivated, and encouraged!

Next stage in my life!

I plan to save for my very first tiny house with my tiny art studio. Living simple appeals to me greatly, it allows for me to more active in my life without sacrificing the things I enjoy! Right now, you can find my work at a local boutique in east mesa called “what’s up buttercup” boutique. stay tuned for any updates of future art festivals!
