Kia Ora!

I’m Ashley Ruth Stirling - you can call me Ashley Ruth - and I’m creative. Always have been, always will be. :)

I started painting with watercolour for the first time in 2020. After painting almost every day for a few years, I’ve finished about 30 sketchbooks and had a lot of fun learning to “play” with art supplies.

Now I’m following my dream of being an artist, an author, and an adventurer.

A few of my favourite things: going to the zoo, a cup of coffee in my hands, being warm, learning about animals, sudoku before sleeping… and so much more.

Follow along for my creative adventures as a Texas living permanently in Aotearoa New Zealand.
