Ann Ruddy

Ann is a Scottish painter living in Highland Perthshire. Brought up in Lochaber, Ann’s work is heavily influenced by the changing seasons and dramatic Scottish landscapes.

Ann studied Graphic Design at Edinburgh College, specialising in Screen Printing. Ann’s paintings mostly come from memory with half remembered places emerging from complex layers of texture and colour. In the paintings there are variations of thickness with thinned veils of colour, contrasted with sharp areas of brush-marked impasto. Her inspiration shifts from vast skies in Orkney to vivid sunsets in Blairgowrie.
