About Me

Ruth Slater is a contemporary artist living and working on the west coast of Bute.

From her purpose-built studio, she creates truly unique works of art across various media, inspired by the stunning natural surroundings and her love of animals. Ruth’s art seeks to capture the elusive essence and personality of her subjects, bringing them to life with depth and character.

​Living on Bute with her husband, two children, and a collection of animals, Ruth’s work is deeply influenced by her environment. Her love for the natural world shines through in her artwork, which often features animals and landscapes. In addition to her original works, Ruth also specializes in illustration, collaborating with clients to turn their ideas into reality.​

One of her most cherished artistic experiences was sitting on the beach to draw with Darcey Bussell, a moment captured in a short film.

Each piece Ruth creates tells a unique story, which she shares with her audience through her social media platforms. This version highlights your name and adds some flow while keeping the personal touch of your artistic journey.​
