About
Rūta Ashcroft is a UK-based contemporary artist whose work explores the balance between structure and spontaneity - the outer world of expectation and the inner world of emotion.
Working primarily in acrylics, her practice combines expressive texture, layered colour, and instinctive mark-making to translate feeling into vivid, abstract landscapes. Each piece begins as an emotional release and evolves into a reflection on calm, connection, and creative freedom.
Rūta draws inspiration from the psychology of self-expression, the rhythm of nature, and the quiet spaces where thought meets emotion. Her work is both introspective and optimistic - celebrating the beauty of honesty, imperfection, and renewal through art.
In March 2026, Rūta will be featured as Artist of the Month at Egham Artisans, where she will showcase her latest collection exploring emotional landscapes, texture, and colour as forms of inner dialogue.
