Ruth Palmer lived and worked in London for many years, feeding imagery to the voracious packaging design, advertising and publishing industries. Today she lives in Devon, preferring a quieter life with her family, and works from her converted barn studio overlooking the beautiful Devon countryside.
During her down time she enjoys Masterchef, gardening and growing her own vegetables.
Her creative influences are diverse but she particularly loves the late-Victorian artists; James Guthrie, John Lavery, EA Walton, Stanhope Forbes and Elizabeth Forbes. She most admires representational paintings that capture light and atmosphere.
Of present day illustrators she likes the work of children’s illustrator Stacey Schuett with her fabulous sense of light and colour.
