Ruby Newman:
Vibrations of Color

Artist's Statement

Regardless of the subject matter, my paintings are all about color, rhythm and the intuitive response through the brush strokes and composition. The use of vibrant color, the vitality of the brush stroke and the attention to light and composition all combine to create each piece.

Whether the inspiration comes from a landscape, figurative work, or from the imagination, it is all about rhythm and harmony combined with artistic intuition.

Original works are done in various mediums, including acrylics on canvas, watercolor, pastels, or pen and pencil.

I have been producing both fine art works and public art pieces for over 30 years. I’ve been honored to receive national and local awards for my work.
