Shotgun Rider by Ruby Hahn

Ruby Hahn is an Acrylic and Mixed Media Artist born and raised in Billings, Montana. Ruby graduated college in 2017 where she earned a bachelors degree in Art Education. During college, she studied abroad in Italy; here, she was truly inspired to pursue her passion in the arts. Since then, Ruby has worked consistently to develop her style and technique. Today, you can find her vibrant pieces in homes, restaurants, and galleries across the United States.
Ruby is currently working with self-made fluid acrylics and other mixed media to create these large-scale, statement pieces. She is inspired by the natural world’s inconspicuous relationships and interpretations.
Throughout her abstract paintings, she explores the connections between the microscopic and macroscopic realms. The perception of the pieces is left up to the viewer.
In contrast, Ruby’s wildlife paintings are thought to evoke a different emotion. Over the pandemic, Ruby was unable access her studio where she was creating her abstract work. Confined to her home, she had a few small canvases and some leftover acrylic paint. Ruby found herself getting lost in the process of translating her painting style into the subject matter of loose and expressive wildlife. Since March of 2019, ruby has sold several Montana wildlife pieces. She enjoys the challenge of working with these painting techniques that simultaneously explore the duality and similarity of her evolving styles.
