Ruth Arnold Art & Illustration
Hello. Want to jump straight into viewing my work? Click below. I’ll meet you back here soon!
As you can see, my portfolio is in two sections. The main part – the narrative work – is designed to appeal to all ages. Much of it is intended for children’s books. The fine art section currently shows a special project, depicting a modern take on fairy tale characters, for a more grown up audience. My artwork for these characters is slightly more experimental, involving multiple textures and techniques.
Some of my images are currently under license with a UK greetings company and will be available to buy in (hopefully) spring 2025! Please check back here for further details…
Look out for my recent illustration project “Eric and the Piskey.” It will be published later next year. The brief was to create images for a book of tales by Peter Parkinson. Main characters are Eric, a retired school teacher, and Issaker, a Cornish Piskey. It’s an illustrated book for adults, with chapter heading vignettes and a few full page images in monochrome line drawings. Not my typical style, but a great project to work on. I can’t show any images until its released for publication but more will be revealed at a later date.
For licensing enquiries, commissions or any other reason, please get in touch below, I’d love to hear from you!
