Ruth Killoran is a contemporary artist who paints and sculpts from her home studio and gallery in Hillsborough, Christchurch, at 19 Heybridge Lane. Her work deals with the turmoil that human choices and behaviour cause, and she says she makes it from strong feelings about how people treat each other, the environment and other species. She often starts without a plan and lets her subconscious lead, experimenting with whatever medium she is working in. Her website says she has more work than it shows, so visitors can ask to see pieces in person.
You can view the work at the studio on weekdays between 11am and 4pm, or at weekends by appointment. Because the work is made and shown in the same house, a visit lets you see the paintings and sculptures close to where they were made.
