Ruth works from a small straw-bale studio in the middle of a paddock just outside Wellington, New Zealand. Ruth loves to talk to schools, in person or via the internet, and is happy to receive emails from students (although sometimes it can take a little while to reply). Please feel free to contact Ruth if you would like to discuss illustration and publishing opportunities, school visits, to purchase or commission work, or simply to view further illustration styles. Selected original illustrations from Ruth's books are also for sale.
