Cate Ruskin

My art is not a literal translation. It is a synthesis of visual impressions with emotional responses. As I stroll through Discovery Park or Moonstone Beach, I not only observe with all of my senses, but also pay attention to how I feel: joy, peace, curiosity, awe. I sketch and take photographs, which serve as a basis for original graphic designs.
