Ruby Allan , Past President, of the Fredericton Society of Artists, currently resides in Fredericton, NB, a province in which she has spent years finessing her craft and exploring her art. She is mostly self taught but has had the opportunity to study under Canadian artist Glenn Priestley for five years.

Ruby works in a number of media including oils and acrylics, and more recently has revisted her love for drawing through coloured pencils.

After attending the  Kingsbrae International Residence for the arts in 2017 for one month, and her second Art Residency in the summer of 2018  at  Sherbrooke Village, N.S for a three week period she has honed her skills and has committed to coloured pencils as her primary medium.

Through her art she aims to capture the beauty of seemingly ordinary objects and places. She finds inspiration in her surroundings and is constantly searching for a new perspective with her subject matter.   Striving to think outside the box has lead her to become a successful artist and to pursue her passion.  

Her favourite quote on how to be an artist  “ Learn to watch Snails” ... SARK
