ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Ruth Lundring is a contemporary artist, working primarily in acrylic and oil to create large-scale abstract paintings.

Now retired, she continues to explore and express her lifelong connection to nature through her art.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My painting process begins with what I see and feel - an intuitive response guided by my understanding of image-making, where knowledge and instinct are woven together. I approach each painting through play and experimentation, allowing curiosity to guide the first marks. From there , a dialogue unfolds between myself and the painting, where each layer informs the next.
I explore the language of visual elements - color, shape, line, and form - as a way of develop structure and meaning. Through this evolving process, the composition gradually emerges, balancing intention with discovery.
Working in acrylic and oil, I am drawn to large-scale paintings that invite immersion. The physicality of scale allows me to move freely, creating works that both feels expansive and personal. Each piece becomes a space for exploration, where feeling and form come together in a continuous act of making.
I believe that the concept of art as a universal language facilitates communication and understanding, which may bring us closer and deepen our connections.
