Ruth Reid is a New Zealand born artist; passionate about painting, exploring, sharing and preserving wilderness areas.

As a skier and tramper (hiker) Ruth Reid regularly goes into remote areas of the mountains and bush with her camera slung over her shoulder and sketching materials at hand. The natural beauty of New Zealand offers Ruth infinite inspiration; from the long miles of rocky coastline and sandy beaches, through the primeval forest areas to the pristine, majestic mountains and into their unique back-country huts. Because of this love of the world's finite natural wilderness areas, Ruth gets involved in projects which highlight the importance of protecting them. It really gives her a thrill when her paintings encourage people to visit and cherish the places she paints or remind them of trips they have made.

Although Ruth painted for many years, it's since 2010 that she has been a full-time artist. Her oil paints and other materials are always of high professional quality. Ruth Reid paints en plein air (on location) and from her photos when back in the studio.

Ruth Reid's artwork is exhibited widely, both throughout New Zealand and more recently, internationally.

Being an artist means a lot of time working in solitude, however, Ruth Reid is never quite alone as she has two cats and a dog who love spending time in her studio. In addition, she regularly spends time with her family, other artists and friends. Ruth Reid believes that it’s important to be of support to other artists and has become involved in the wider arts scene, organising projects to encourage artists, and is on the Executive Committee of Arts Canterbury.

The Colour In Your Life TV series is an art show that takes you into the everyday studios of artists from around the world. While in the studio they share their individual techniques with the viewer in a relaxed atmosphere with a delightfully Australian host and fellow artist Graeme Stevenson. The series is currently filmed in Australia, New Zealand and the United States.

Graeme Stevenson, a world renowned Artist himself, rides his Harley Davidson to the studios of Artists all over the world and allows the viewers a chance to go into the Art studios of some of the greatest Artists in the world.

A wonderfully engaging show that allows people to see inside the minds and the abilities of some of the most creative people in the world. If you love creativity and the shear joy of looking at the world through Art, then Colour In Your Life is the place too be.
