Ruth trained as an illustrator, and after working in various different mediums, discovered rag rug making several years ago. She particularly likes the simplicity of the technique, its versatility and the traditional use of recycled materials.
Her style is graphic, slightly quirky and mostly features people and animals, both real and imaginary. She works on small scale rag rug wall-hangings in a variety of recycled fabrics, supplemented occasionally by tapestry wools for fine details and metallic threads and other materials for special effects.
