Ruth seeks to capture and highlight elements of the ordinary world that surrounds her then to interpret these elements visually and artistically, as seen through her eyes and camera’s lens.

Ruth took up photography in 2005 when she bought her first SLR camera. Because she was living in Spain, her early work was of European streets and architecture. On her return to Australia in 2013 she produced a series of fine art flower photographs reflecting her connection with the natural environment. Recently she has returned to the architecture theme from a minimalist perspective where she seeks to capture and emphasise the visual aesthetics of building facades: colour, contrast, shape, lines, and texture. Ruth received an honourable mention in the architecture category of the Minimalist Photography Awards 2022 and was featured on the front cover of the ‘20 ARTISTS’ magazine 2022. Ruth’s talk will feature her minimalist architecture photography.
