BIO
Ruth Lundring is a contemporary artist influenced by nature. She is an avid gardener and outdoors woman who is inspired by often-overlooked beauty and small details. Born and raised in Norway, she lived in Sweden for 18 years before moving to the United States in 2001. While working as a nurse before retiring, she regularly took college=-level art classes as well as workshops with professional artists. Her philosophy is to study the science of art, study the art of science, and develop your senses, especially learn how to see.
ART STATEMENT
My process expands what I see and think about my surroundings. Music inspires me, too. My paintings start with play and experimentation. Depending on the dialogue with the painting, the exploration of the visual elements can takes hours or days. Abstract art gives freedom to interpret design and emotions my way. I work in Acrylics and Oil, mostly on canvas, preferring large format, on the wall, table or floor. I believe that the concept of art as a universal language facilitates communication and understanding without the need for verbal translation. This can bring us closer and deepen our connections.
