Ruth Fromstein - GUEST ARTIST - STUDIO #8

BIO

After living in San Diego for over 10 years, in 2021Ruth returned to Wisconsin. While currently residing in Stevens Point, she continues to work closely with collectors and decorators to choose the perfect art for their space.

Creating has been the only constant in Ruth’s life and an important form of self-expression. While her

bachelor’s degree is in Vocational Rehabilitation, it was the various art classes that inspired her. Her art took inspiration from her love of nature, imbuing her work with movement, life and a varied palette. Ruth is constantly experimenting with new materials, techniques and subject matter, striving to embody in her work the beauty and excitement of the world she sees around and within herself.

While revisiting many of the mediums she used in the past, Ruth discovered a new love and passion for abstract painting in 2016. Combining her years of experience as an artist of many mediums, she has been experimenting with layers of contrast, creating images that dance and play in the viewers

imagination. Her abstract paintings have been described as anything from tranquil and relaxing to thrilling and startling. She is always excited to stumble into new territory as the materials she experiments with lead her in expected directions.

STATEMENT
“I love it when my work takes the viewer on a personal journey of meaning and discovery.  My

contemporary abstract paintings, filled with color and light, allow collectors to be transported into a world of beauty and intrigue. I perceive myself as a creative scientist, experimenting with color, tools and techniques, finding personal meaning and discoveries in the process. My mixed media approach to abstract acrylic painting reflects my playful approach to life."
