In 2006 Ruth was awarded the title of 'Welsh Artist of the Year'.
Statement -
These works are part of an ongoing series, which consider aspects of my Welsh ‘Identity’ and the use of the Welsh language through the generations of my family.
They draw from personal responses to motherhood; my relationship with my daughter and our initial experiences and emotions to her attending school;
our learning a new language and everyday life.
In classroom pieces, I consider the demise of the blackboard and once again enjoy and celebrate the quality of the layered mark- making of the chalk lines;
their repeated erasure and defined re-emergence, like the language itself.
The diverse qualities of mark- making produced by painting, drawing and writing are all here considered in stitch.
