This artwork exemplifies Howard's bold style and palette. The depth of character she achieves in her subject matter in remarkable considering the minimal composition.

Ruth Howard is a multi-disciplinary artist working in small scale in the mediums of painting and ceramics. Her minimalist paintings often portray a single object on a flat plane. At the same time, her sculptures depict wild animals or organic matter in abstract form — from amphibians to insects, elephants and porcupines. Her dedication to this theme has enabled her to refine her idiosyncratic, bold style to quirky levels of elegance and beauty.

Howard has worked in the Arts Project Australia since 1998 and held her first solo show in 2015. She has been included in numerous group exhibitions including Spring 1883, The Establishment, Sydney; Turning the Page, Gallery 101, Ontario; Hybrid Making – new work from Australia, Canada and Scotland, Project Ability Gallery, Scotland; and Face-Up, Idiom Studio, Wellington.
