Ruth in one of Dora’s Liberty pattern dresses
“I started evening classes at Heatherley School of Fine Art, behind Victoria station. I wanted to paint; I knew I wanted to do that.” However, “I didn’t fit in with the other students, they didn’t accept me as an artist. But I felt in my bones, I had to paint.” *
*Quote from Ruth looking back on her life aged 88.
