Ruby Huston

Ruby Huston lives and works in Auckland and has been working as an artist since 1975. Huston has exhibited extensively and her work is included in many public and private collections both in New Zealand and overseas. Huston demonstrates meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship in her works. Her subject matter ranges from exotic plant forms, flowers and fruits through to surreal landscapes containing strange figures, nudes and floating castles. The growth and sexuality expressed in the plant forms has an all pervasive sense of life communicated through the rich dense colour and vibrant atmosphere, an assertion that the act of painting connects the artist to a living breathing nature.
