Amy Ruth Art
australian artist
Hello, I'm Amy Ruth!
Welcome to: colour, whimsy, joy, wild places, character houses, vibrant places art
My paintings are vibrant, bold, and eye-catching.
I love using bright colours that evoke feelings of joy and delight.
I paint imaginative urban-themed environments, landscapes, gardens, wilderness, mountains, and character houses.
The palettes of my paintings are consistently strikingly vivid, bringing energy and life to harmonious compositions.
With a background in landscape architecture and urban design, my passion for placemaking is a key influence on my art.
I aim to create a “sense of place” and a utopic vision, which is often inspired by my home in Brisbane, Queensland.
Some of my favourite pieces:

My joyful paintings layer geology, gardens, and home with bold colour, simplified forms, and new impasto textures.
This vibrant, poetic exploration of suburban life reimagines place, memory, and belonging.
