Ruth Wightman Art: When The World Was Blue
A multidisciplined artist, children's story writer and businesswoman, Ruth has her own studio located in a quaint old mill in Keighley.
Recently Ruth showcased some beautiful dream-like illustrations for her new story When The World Was Blue (pictured).

She said in regards to the project: "This story is a picture book illustrated using largish oil paintings that would make an interesting simple animation in the way "Jackanory used to do."
Over the last few years she has built up a strong reputation delivering enjoyable and productive school workshops - in which children learn and have fun creating anything - from masks and mosaics to illustrations and paintings and in regards to her own artwork; she frequently exhibits with other artists.
Ruth is looking to work with film-makers and story-writers. Take a peek at her website, which shows her versatility and we look forward to seeing the collaborations!
