Ruffined Living

Contemporary Mixed-Media Artist

Jane Ruff's creative journey began with childhood painting lessons and a lifelong passion for artistic expression. After returning to her craft in her 40s, Jane transitioned from a dedicated student to a professional artist, spending decades showcasing her work at markets and gallery shows.

A versatile, primarily self-taught painter, Jane is known for her evocative landscapes, seascapes, and vibrant florals. While she is a master of traditional mediums — including watercolours, oils, acrylics, and collage — she is currently enjoying a new 'abstract adventure,' blending her years of technical experience with a fresh, experimental curiosity.

Now retired from public exhibitions, Jane focuses her creative energy exclusively on private commissions, bringing her clients' visions to life through her unique, multi-medium lens.
