Artist: Ruth Baron Ezra  ASGFA

Artist Biography:

Ruth creates finely worked graphite drawings, many of them reminiscent of etchings and illustrations.
She enjoys zooming in to what she sees as the exquisite detail in a myriad of subjects from nature.
She loves to explore the minutiae of shapes and contours, textures and tonal ranges in those subjects, highlighting  the striking qualities of dark pitched against light.
Sometimes  the material is rendered in her own stylised way, resulting in strong elements of pattern and design.

Ruth studied Art and Design for a B.Ed [Hons] at Wall Hall College, Hertfordshire in the 1970`s, specialising in drawing and painting.
During the `80`s she had a number of teaching jobs in the London area, always using art widely in her teaching.
In the early 1990`s Ruth gained an MA in Art History of the Modern Period from Goldsmith`s College, University of London. She taught History of Art during the 90`s running a variety of courses for `Artscope` and at Adult Learning Centres in Kent.
More recently, Ruth has returned to her distinctive and intricate style of drawing that she first crafted back in the 1970`s.
