Nancy Ruby’s studio is light filled and on any given day could be set up for acrylic transfers, an oil painting on easel or wall, or some slabs of clay rolled out for making any number of shapes needed for a project. “Two doors lead out to garden areas where I spend many hours tending during the growing season. The act of gardening is instrumental in my creative life. Being in tactile proximity with the soil and seeds my body is reminded of the commonality we share with one another. A lot of content in my paintings over the years has been the landscape, invoking the quiet understanding that we all have a longing for the place that is ours.”

About the ArtistYour Tour Guide
Nancy Ruby
I was born and raised in Texas, and completed my education in San Antonio with a BA from Trinity University where I studied art with a concentration in painting. For the next many years I lived in Houston and worked in the interior design business. First, as a custom rug designer, then as owner of a decorative painting company and continue to design patterns for the industry.
My fine art life really began when I married the love of my life and moved to Sedona, to live an immersive life on the edge of the national forest. Grounding in the beauty of the natural world as it is expressed in the high desert has become the muse from whom I continue to learn about all aspects of life and creating. I work primarily in oil and acrylic on canvas and board. But also, I work with clay and mixed media enjoying the texture that sculptural surfaces bring to my work. I have been in Sedona since 2008 and love the diverse community of artists and writers who have made this place home. I’ve shown my work in Arizona, Texas, California and elsewhere, please visit my web page for a full resume and make plans to visit the studio. I look forward to meeting you.
