Ruth Speer is a painter based here in Portland, Oregon. Inspired by folklore, fables, and fiction, Ruth’s series for Dreamlore incorporates familiar iconography that harkens towards an unwritten mythology. One that falls just outside of memory. Blending the ethereal and bizarre, Ruth’s portraits are confident and playful, they have a look of determination and purpose which gives the viewer the opportunity to search through the entirety of the piece, searching for signs and clues.
