Ruth Adler
Artist Bio
Ruth Adler grew up in Alberta where the open blue sky of the prairies made a deep impression on her visual language. After high school, Ruth went off in search of a warmer climate and found it in Tel Aviv, where she divided her time between hanging out on the beach and studying art and design. She then spent the next twenty years traveling between Canada and Israel, with frequent stopovers in Italy and New York.
It was in Italy that Ruth discovered her love and fascination for textile pattern that inspired her in the study of textile design. She brought to this traditional field her prairie sensibility of simplicity and balance, and a wild colour sense reminiscent of Henri Matisse that she likely acquired from her years living on the shores of the Mediterranean.
For Ruth, there are no boundaries between art and design. She follows her erudite intuition that guides her along her evolving journey of creativity; one that celebrates life and nature in all its brilliant colour.
