Artist's Statement of Ruth Collis

"I love exploring what a medium can do, but especially the endless forms of thick acrylic paint that I keep discovering! I'm inspired by products that have or can be manufactured, cool tools, & inventing all the possible outrageous techniques I can think of to create certain fun effects, like the Jellyfish Squish that is using a certain brush to get all these intricate jelly lines in one brush press. My style is more free-form than realistic to feel free to create exciting things that can be imagined.

​

Currently, the manufacturers have made these recessed elongated holes of architecture in canvases, perfect for displaying some of my paint sculptures, that I am excited to now make into more free-standing forms."
