Ruth Hartley

I am an artist and an author. I write and paint because I am a storyteller. I have always made stories, and I paint to explore and share ideas and feelings. Born in Zimbabwe, I have also lived in South Africa, Zambia, and the UK. I now live in France. My stories explore connections, conflict, creativity and communication. I have shown my art in many exhibitions over the years. My published books include 'The Shaping of Water', 'The Tin Heart Gold Mine', and 'The White and Black Blues'.
