About Ruth
By mail, email and fax and in person through her clinic on the Gold Coast she, with her husband Dennis, cared for over 20,000 patients from around thirty countries. During this time Ruth still found time to attend evening classes with The Brin Jones Academy of Fine Art, where she learned the intricacies of working with graphite and pastels.
Since moving to Tasmania in 2004, Ruth has continued her hobby, painting all manner of subjects from boats to roses and birds to horses; many of which have been successfully exhibited all around the state. Ruth is always thinking of the viewer, and takes pleasure from including some sort of activity or small detail that the viewer may not notice at first glance. If you would like to see more of Ruth’s art or find out more about her books these can be found at www.sharkeys.com.au, public libraries and good book stores. |

Ruth is perhaps better known as the natural therapist who helped thousands
of ‘infertile’ couples to conceive beautiful healthy babies, or as the
author of eight books - 3 of which made the best-seller list. However
it is not so well known that Ruth has used painting as her preferred
form of relaxation for many years.
Coming from a large family of artists she always had plenty of
encouragement, so when it came for her well earned retirement it is no
surprise that she did another course in painting, this time with the
acclaimed fine artist Michael McMahon and also with the Gold Coast
Academy of Art.
