Ruby Bovill is a painter and art therapist based on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri people in Melbourne / Naarm. Bovill’s work encourages quiet contemplation and reflection on connection to place. Bovill’s paintings are an abstraction of her environment and identity. Growing up in Melbourne and regularly visiting the Great Ocean Road and Murray river - childhood provided her with a connection to nature. Art Therapy transformed Bovill’s art making practice resulting in work that makes internal discoveries, heals and contributes to her sense of self.
