Ruth became interested in botanical art through her love of our natural environment and has always been attracted to the natural beauty of
Keen to conserve what is left of the last remaining – and rapidly dwindling – bushland in the Maroondah region, she has recognised the pressing need for a reliable identification resource for the assistance of concerned conservationists from both within and beyond the region. To this end she is currently committed to a long term illustration project with the aim of publishing, in book form, a comprehensive guide to the region’s indigenous flora. To complicate matters Ruth is vision impaired, requiring a range of specialised vision aids and working with a very short depth of focus and narrow visual field.
She is essentially a self-taught artist and amateur botanist. Her illustrations have been represented in regional art exhibitions in Melbourne’s outer east including the R & M McGivern Art Prize Exhibition, conducted as part of the Maroondah Winter Arts Fest in 2003, at which she received the Commendable Watercolour award. Her work was also exhibited in 2003 at the Bryophyte Illustration Exhibition, Zen Salad, held under the auspices of the National Herbarium of Victoria.
