About Ruth Martin Maude
Ruth Martin Maude (she/her) is a Canadian artist, instructor, blogger, and web designer based in Toronto, Ontario. She is the founder of All Things Encaustic, a blog offering techniques and resources for the encaustic art community.
Ruth’s artistic process centres on experimentation, with encaustic offering seemingly endless possibilities. Her paintings often begin with loose mark-making and playful underpainting, creating space for discovery. Through layering and revision, intuition and experience shape the final work.
Her work is included in the permanent collection of The Museum of Encaustic Art (MoEA) in New Mexico and is held in private collections across Canada and the United States.
She is a board member and Chair of Marketing and Communications at Propeller Art Gallery, and an organizer, presenter, and instructor at the Canadian Encaustic Conference. Through these roles, she helps create opportunities for dialogue, learning, and exchange within the art community.
