Artist’s Statement: This month’s featured artist: Ruby Oakley
 
* Where do you get your inspiration from?
I get a lot of inspiration from nature, especially on my daily dog walks
 
* Who is your favourite artist?
Ben Allen
 
 * Talk about your art...how do you feel you art has evolved since you first picked up a paint brush? What do you aim to do within your paintings? Are you a 'clean' painter or do you need to get your hands dirty when you paint?
Currently I’m mostly a print maker. I love the variety of the medium, so many different types of print methods to choose from, from screen printing to using a press for etchings, woodcuts, monoprints & they all have their own distinct look & feel. I enjoy mixing different methods together in the same piece of work, creating multi layered works.
When i paint i use mixed media, from paint, ink, pen, collage, wax, varnish etc... Anything that I think will give me the look I’m going for.
My world & art work is very much influenced & ruled by colour. Colour is so evocative & exciting.  
 
 * In your opinion, what makes good art?
Technical skill that is then manipulated & applied in new ways
