Ruby started life in a small town in Lancashire, following three years studying art and design, he then travelled around Europe, settling in Paris for three years. He now lives and works in his studio in Cumbria.
He believes in constant experimentation because, he says, “an artist’s work has to stay fresh, so he constantly needs new ideas. Evolution happens naturally as you strive to improve.” He delights in working with fabric textures and regularly changes his subject matter to set himself new challenges, to enhance his creativity and hone his skills in style, techniques and interpretation.
