Ruth Oosterman is a Canadian artist who strives to capture the chaos of her mind and the fascination for realism into art form. Her greatest motivation comes from her three year old daughter who has taught her how to accept "mistakes" as part of the artistic process and embrace the unexpected. Through this new found confidence she has embarked on a series called "Collaborations with my Toddler" and paints side by side with her toddler, Eve. When Eve sleeps, Ruth allows the chaos of her mind to run wild among the nighttime hours in order to expand her artistic boundaries and create her own solo work.
