Ruby is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative practice explores the use of storytelling to reshape our relationship with the world around us, particularly the natural environment. They engage with objects and artefacts, working to question conventional hierarchies of usefulness, embracing materials subject to change and decay over time, reconnecting with natural cycles and processes of change.

They are a recent graduate from the University of Brighton Fine Art course where their study focused on sculpture, process, and performance; exploring sense of place and meaning through movement with found objects and puppetry work. They have developed and supported workshops centring experimental play and found objects as well as practical techniques in ceramics and painting.

Currently, their practice is moving towards artworks offered as gifts to places, people, and communities as opposed to work intended for conventional gallery spaces.
