Welcome to
eclectic blue studio
Hi, I am Ruth. Self-taught artist, a bit of a dreamer and a lover of Nature and all its creatures. I am a media explorer. I use colour boldly, abiding to light and form as my guides. Texture fascinates me and adds playfulness to the creative process.I am pleased to bring to you some rays of blue and a diverse body of work. From art made with Nature, to jewellery, sculpture or even a bit of poetry, I am called 'eclectic' for a reason. I hope you'll enjoy it.I live and work at the heart of Strathearn, surrounded by birds, green and, softly serrated pics that provide invaluable inspiration and fresh air.
2D ART
digital art on print
Using my own pictures and sketches, I alchemically combine them to create interesting layers, express a mood or just convey a message.Click below to browse our greetings cards collection, printed stationary and selected prints.
Natural Art
STILL NATURES
No two snow flakes are the same. Each composition is unique and the natural elements have been lovingly handpick during my walks in Nature.I am guilty of seeing beauty everywhere around me. The colour of an autumn leaf, the lightness of a fallen feather or the structure of a sea shell, I marvel at their precision of form and diversity. It 'wows' me. Each element is a piece of art in its own right.I sometimes use non-foraged but, still natural, details like a dried flower or a personally cast and hand painted item.
3D art
sculpture & casts
I started sculpting in clay during Covid lockdown. I suddently found myself in a journey of discovery.I can tell you the story of how a real size portrait of a lady I was modelling at that time, shape-shifted into so many different characters, I did not know who or what will come out next. This happened unintentionally, while trying to achieve a portrait that never happened but taught me instead. It turned out to be the best teacher I could ever hoped for.

Jewellery
I make casual glass and mixed media jewellery, colourful and fun to wear any day with your favourite pair of jeans or T-shirt.I enjoy working with glass because it leaves room for malleability and experimentation. There is little wastage and also a surprise element that appeals to my inner child. Sometimes I use eco friendly casting material and recycled glass such as good old glass marbles. From cradle to assembly, I give each piece full dedication and attention. Each has a character of its own.Once more, the natural world is the main inspiring theme but, you might also find more abstract designs and blasts on colour.
THE POETRY CORNER
'Nandipa & I'
Water in a chalice,
I am hold in gold.
Love has no form,
I flow.With these lips,
I touch
a thousand kisses.
Through these eyes
I see and do,
what with this hands,
imagination pleases.Sweet Nandipa, carries me.
From womb, my temple.
I, little bird,
light within,
animator.Companion of adventure,
delicate finite flower,
when time ripens
we shall bid farewell.Take me to the willow tree,
where wrens like me dwell.
Toss the cup and then,
let me go, my friend,
Love, formless once more.
