In keeping with this month’s theme of connection, it came up in conversation that it would be lovely to stay connected beyond the group too. Share your Instagram handle or other social links below so we can find, support each other and stay in touch.

Hi, I’m Amy Ruth. I am an artist, I work as an urban designer/strategic planner and am a mum of two girls. I am also a Studio on Brunswick Affiliate ❤️ My artwork is connected to my profession (I originally trained as a landscape architect too). My paintings are vibrant, bold, and eye-catching. I love using bright colours that evoke delight and energy. I paint imaginative urban environments, lush gardens, layered landscapes, and the wild beauty of mountains and subtropical flora. My work often features character homes and architectural forms that blend the built and natural world. I am really enjoying connecting with other artists - as I only returned to creating art in the last few years. So I’m looking forward to continuing to be part of this great arts community. I’ve added some of my artworks - that you can currently find on the new Emergent Gallery website.
