Ruby Jean Saul
art out of black was set up by Ruby Jean Saul, a mixed media artist.
She has just moved to the Isle of Skye and is looking forward to creating a very different body of work compared to 'Light' which explored the light, colour and texture of living in Singapore, 'Dark' which looked at the patterns and rhythms of depression and 'Immigrants' which highlighted non native trees which brought colour, fragrance and wealth to Singapore. Ruby graduated from Trent University in the UK with a BA Hons in Fine Art. She also taught at Changi Prison - Singapore and still volunteers at Canvas as a mentor and in addition continues to teach ex inmates after their release. Whilst living in Shanghai she met artist Monika Lin and began teaching at her studio - Art Station 2.0. 'Having lived Monika's teaching philosophy, I knew that this very supportive and inclusive way of teaching is completely the right way to give students confidence and rigour wherever they are on their art journey.' |

I strive to provide foundational learning...by way of an integrated engagement with theory, analytical thinking and visual art making."
