Tickled Pink by Ruth Austin

Ruth Austin

Through my mixed media process of layering collage with acrylics, watercolors and oil sticks on either canvas or watercolor paper, my intention is to capture and portray the vibrancy, beauty, and joy I fi nd in my relationships with the plants, animals, and natural world in Northern Arizona. I fi nd much inspiration for my art in the ponderosa pine forests I hike in almost daily, and my garden, which is filled with birds, flowers, and sunlight.
