Just lovely to hear about Ruth’s days in
her studio and to know that she won the
prize and it will help her so much is such
a joyful thing.
Great to see that a relatively unknown (or at
least not famous) young woman has secured
the Jackson’s Painting Prize for work that is in a fine
painting tradition. The work is well crafted
on a human scale and also that 5K means a
lot to the artist at a tricky time. Well done
Ruth.
All I can say is brilliant, brilliant brilliant!
Light, texture, craftswomanship . I hope this
accolade will launch Ruth on to wherever
she’d like to go
