Miriam Ruberl

A full-time artist, her desire is to transmit her passion and gratitude for life and the personal privilege of being alive. Her work is frequently inspired by the mysterious, and she despairs of ever fully transmitting their sublime qualities – but quitting is not an option ! She is also regularly driven to protest in paint by the outrageous inhumanity of people towards each other, the plight of those devastated by the natural catastrophes of our times, and humbling moments when people anonymously come to each other’s aid in the face of life’s unbearable blows, or two human hearts connect, however briefly. Not bound to one medium or genre, the alchemy between the support, the medium and the tools is an endless source of wonder and surprise. Each medium offers a different energetic experience and language. Not consciously working within any one movement or style, it is the PROCESS of painting that enthralls her as the work unfolds from within. The finished piece bears witness to her perception at that time. She paints because she must. She is often surprised ! Artist’s background: Painting now for over 10 years, she has also completed a Diploma in Arts and Creativity. A growing body of realistic and abstract works are now in Bay of Plenty collections, as well as those of other parts of New Zealand, Japan, Australia, the USA, Ireland and Spain. A number of awards for both realistic and abstract paintings have been generously bestowed upon her and she has successfully participated in numerous individual and group exhibitions and fund-raising auctions in Auckland, Wellington and the Bay of Plenty. She is honoured to be invited to lead workshops from time to time and plans to further expand this great source of enjoyment. Phone: (07) 578 5388
