About Ruth

I am an artist and advocate, using the arts to support both personal and collective creative health.

 

Drawing on my lived experience of childhood cancer, my practice explores creativity as a means of processing trauma and supporting self-management of illness.

​

Working across photography, printmaking and sculpture, I continually experiment with materials to process and communicate experiences that are difficult to articulate into words.

​

I am a Champion for the Lived Experience Network (LENs) in the North West, advocating for lived experience to remain central within arts, health and wellbeing movement.

​

I hold an MA in Arts, Health and Wellbeing, where I explored clay as a tool for recovery. I was honoured to receive the Richard Hambro Award for Inspiring Leaders.
