Welcome to my Authentic West Along the Yellowstone!
Theresa Ruby Art: A little background about me and what drives my work: I am a contemporary western artist living in Montana along the Yellowstone River. Much of The West is disappearing, so it drives me to capture, celebrate and cherish it. I love using color, exaggeration, textures and impressionism to see The West in new ways.
Theresa Ruby Art: My paintings include all things authentic in The West — its characters, landscapes, skies, animals, colors, cultures, history and more. My goal is to celebrate the extraordinary in what we might otherwise see as ordinary. I love capturing special moments. And I love capturing authenticity and character.
I paint in a variety of mediums from oil to charcoal, to acrylic, to pastel, to watercolor, to digital, to mixed media of all kinds. The addition of hand painted digital painting has opened up new exciting contemporary and textured looks. When I paint digitally it’s always done by hand using a stylus and drawing pad (i.e., no AI). For me, it’s about mixing mediums to create the desired effect with exciting new textures and expression. So, you will see multiple mediums in my work. Prints and artist proofs are always in limited editions.
Hope you enjoy my celebration of our Authentic West at Theresa Ruby Art!
