Ricardo Ruiz

Ricardo Ruiz was born, raised and educated in Corpus Christi, Texas. A working artist since 1986 whose mediums range from oils, acrylics, and watercolors to drawings and prints. Descended from a family of storytellers, his interest has been in creating narratives that explore themes of family and the cycle of life. Ruiz believes that the beauty of a good story is in its potential to transcend into myth, and in that state take on a life of its own, free to evolve and change as it passes from one storyteller to another, from one generation to the next; free to teach or amuse or horrify in its subsequent incarnations.
