Paint Portraits is the web site of Ruth Ellen, a young and talented portrait artist with a decade of experience and two university degrees in Fine Art, one at Master’s level.

Ruth’s work is timeless, beautiful to look at and very modern. She creates ink drawings, watercolours and oil on canvas paintings that show a high level of expertise in every medium.

A photograph captures the image of a person, but a painted portrait is a unique keepsake that you will treasure for the rest of your life; an artwork that will stay in your family for generations.

Ruth is happy to produce original portraits to commission – wherever you are in the world. This site makes it easy to order a painted portrait from a range of styles.
