Ruth Fitton
Ruth Fitton, a portrait and figurative painter from Yorkshire, England, works in a studio near Harrogate (UK). Ruth has been painting professionally since 2012. Her paintings range from palatial life-size works, to figures in landscapes, to delicate miniature paintings, and she strives to capture the greatest truth with minimal information.
Painting from life is at the heart of her practice. This is balanced by her intense curiosity about textures, layers, and edges; she constantly seeks the most imaginative way to make the painting reproduce the feelings and features she sees. After a quick, immersive field study, there is usually a period of intense studio work.
