Ruth Boxler, was born in Aarau in 1946 and grew up in Frick. In 1978, she moved to the scenic town of Malans in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland.
Her journey as an artist commenced in 2002, and since then, she has passionately created a diverse array of artworks, including drawings, paintings, small sculptures, and installations. Ruth’s artistic contributions have graced exhibitions in the canton of Graubünden, St. Gallen, and Basel. A notable milestone in her artistic career was her participation in the Triennale of Sculpture in Bad Ragaz in collaboration with Rolf and Esther Hohmeister, where her installation “The blue view with bird airport, Ornithoport” captivated audiences in 2015.
In her artistic pursuits, Ruth finds enduring companionship in pen holders filled with ink, both for writing and drawing. These tools serve as the foundational structure for several series of her paintings, including “Wild traces,” “Vibes Moods Resonances”, “Society-Publique-in Compagnie”, and “Paintings from the bird’s eye view”. Her studio works are spontaneous responses to experiences or visual impressions, and she has recently delved into the exploration of painting on stone and various etching techniques, promising intriguing developments in the future.
