The Tulip Project | Ruth Ellington

Ruth Ellington is a multi-disciplinary artist whose creative expression spans painting, printing, soft sculpture, and digital imagery. Her work explores themes of love, loss, and life's journey, often using personal symbolism and transformation as a focal point. The exhibition titled The Tulip Project delves deeply into these themes, with Ruth’s alter ego, ‘Tulip’, guiding the exploration of healing and growth.

With over 30 years of experience, Ruth's body of work includes pieces from her 2022 residency at Caboolture Regional Art Gallery and key works from her extensive creative practice. Her use of flowers and bees as symbols serves to illustrate the ongoing process of transformation, as well as the delicate balance between beauty and vulnerability. Through The Tulip Project, Ruth invites viewers to reflect on their own life journeys, offering a space for connection, introspection, and the possibility of healing.
