Ruthia is a painter based in Toronto. She specialized in painting and drawing at York University (BFA, 2000), also studying painting in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK (1999). She continued her studies at Wycliffe College, University of Toronto (Master of Theological Studies, 2009). Her painting looks towards abstraction using patterns found in nature; whether in shadows, placement of branches, clusters of leaves or dappled sunlight. For her, the process of painting and growing in spiritual disciplines is intimately intertwined. In between studio work, she produces commissioned pieces. Please be in touch to purchase or commission work. She is currently represented by Roberts Gallery in Toronto.
