About me
Hi, my name is Ruth.
I am currently gaining experience in the art sector, whether this be through internships or work. After graduating from university in September 2015 this is the best way for me to get a feel of the art industry, and where my creativity can be pushed and used at its best.
I am open to working with and for people, and companies. Whether this be freelance, interning or paid work.
After spending more time through placements and studying I have begun to understand what I find the most interesting areas to work with. These include painting, print design (usually for digital print), visual layouts and the aesthetics of work and illustration.

New Designers
As part of our final year we got a chance to exhibit at new designers as a class. This was an amazing experience as we had to organise the exhibition ourselves, from what we would take to how it was presented.
This was a great experience as we got feedback and contacts not only from the public, but also professional companies and organisations.
'HEADLINES'
'HEADLINES' is the University of Hertfordshire's end of year, graduate showcase.
It was great to meet people who had not seen our work before giving such good feedback and was our debut exhibition.
