Ruth Chaplain Art & Events

Based in Cloncurry, North West Queensland, artist Ruth Chaplain creates vibrant, colourful original pieces, melding together elements of real subjects with abstract, exaggerated colour.

Visit my shop online for vibrant and unique gifts, homewares, and prints that uplift any space. I pour my heart into each piece, ensuring you'll find something truly special for yourself or a loved one.

For as long as I can remember I’ve loved to draw and paint. As a 10 year old I used to breathe in the scent of a new sketch pad like it was an expensive perfume.


Life then got in the way of my creative pursuits, as it sometimes does, and I’ve been super fortunate to have a career, and in the last 6 years, 3 beautiful children. Together, we live on his family cattle station near Cloncurry in outback North Queensland.

Our lifestyle is truly wonderful. It is definitely the land of droughts and flooding rains; it is also awe-inspiring. Rugged red hills, open blue skies, vast open fields, rocky outcrops. All of these elements (together with my creative spirit) combined, so that after my third child came along, I decided to reopen myself and start living a creative life.

Here I am now, showcasing my art and products to you, hoping to spread little strokes of the outback to houses across Australia, and the world.
