Ruth Mireau

Ruth Mireau is an artist from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  Though she has always loved to paint, it was not until her retirement from a 40-year career in health care that she began to take her art practice seriously.  Ruth has enjoyed experimenting with oil paint, charcoal, graphite, and pen and ink.  Most recently Ruth has enjoyed the freedom and looseness that comes from experimenting with water colour, despite the discovery that it is less forgiving.  She particularly enjoys painting wildlife.  Ruth is a continuous learner and has taken many art classes through the USask Community Arts program.
