Art Buds is a podcast for artists in Ontario. In this episode, we talk to Ruth Linda Morton. Ruth makes bold, colourful paintings of flowers and pets and roadscapes. After a career in tech, she has turned her art practice from a side-gig into a full-time business. We talked with Ruth about how she chooses the galleries she works with; using augmented reality in her painting practice; some thoughts about AI and artists; applying to curated shows (from both an artist’s and a curator’s perspective); and how she finds ways to give back to the arts communities she seeks to be a part of.
