Ruth Slater is a contemporary fine artist working on the Isle of Bute.

Dividing her time between teaching at Rothesay Academy, motherhood and painting she creates exciting and unusual pieces in a range of media.

Living in an area of outstanding natural beauty with an ever changing rural landscape means she is never stuck for inspiration.

Her portfolio is a rich tapestry of island life from seascapes to wild sea birds and she has work in private collections home and abroad.

Her work can be found in Brandish Bute, Picture Bute and the Port Bannatyne Post Office all located on Bute.
