Wood Sorrel Spotlight

a blue brain in a night sky behind daisies has white light eminating from the center and the stream continues from bottom to top. Blue to indigo to purple.

Clarity

A skeleton from smile to pelvic base is brought to life and alignment with roses, to orange swirls, to a bright yellow sun, a radiating green heart and a bright blue sky behind the throat chakra. A white, sparkling light weaves through each of these centers. The background corresponds to each color (with the heart area remaining a neutral tan/ yellow) and the sternum a light blue-green

The Glitch

The 4 seasons are colorized as a multicolored - swirled backdrop to the beautyberry bush. Bright magenta berries grow in clusters along the stalks.

A very colorful, mostly orange and yellow male ram looks into your eyes in front of a blue spiral of sky, clouds, a waterfall, and a little greenery.

Aries' Message

The stalks of a chokeberry cluster are shown in front of an abstract grassy meadow, with a transition of all four seasons that this plant adjusts to. A cottontail takes cover underneath. A bi-plane wrote out the scientific name "Aronia melanocarpa" in the blue sky.

First Snow

Alt: A clear blue ocean beach has just a few visitors. Two hang gliders, one swimmer, and a squirrel monkey's footsteps are arranged to create a smile, all beneath a brigh rainbow. Two palm trees and some shrubbery grow on the right side.

LandSmile

A bear and cub bask in the sunlight of a lush green valley. Mom is munching berries and the cub is chasing a butterfly. Two abstract zigzags beam from the sun (yellow and orange). A dove flies above it all and clouds surround the border.

Radiate

A black background is highlighted with bits of solid colorful abstract clouds. A scuba diver girl is looking at the center bright white cloud, which has a silver eye to represent the middle path.

Middle Path

A cloudscape of pastel colors includes a waterfall of metallic acrylic paint, mountains, a stream, palm tree, grassy area, pink bear with honey-drenched hands, and two dolphins.

Sweet Dreams

A bright sun shines wavy rays across a grassy mountain landscape with a stream. A coyote is peering out of blooming pink redbud trees, enjoying the sun on his face. The mountains, tree, and tiny pool of water have circular orbs of appreciation for the Sun. A snake formed out of the sunrays at the top of the painting. White mushrooms are on a log. Violets, dandelion, and some tall weeds sprinkle around in the grass.

Sun Appreciation

A snail shines it's sun rays out of its colorful shell, where a tiny parade of snails travel along its spiral amongst many colored random lines. The snails body is blue-decorated with purple stripes and red sprinkles, floating in the sky amongst the clouds and sea.

Flow Slow & Shine

An infinity symbol displays vertically filled with an arctic scene above and a desert sunset below. Closed meditating eyes made of ice represent having a cool mind, while smoke from a volcano in the shape of a heart defines the lower half with warmth. A yin-yang symbol rests at the middle merge point between fire from a Chinese dragon and ice from an orca whale's swim. Northern lights, snowflakes, and a polar bear wrap around the mind, while blue and white orchid flowers, fireworks, and sky lanterns fill around the heart.

Infinite Balance

A classic wavy milkshake glass is filled with an orange cream shake floating on colorful clouds and garnished with an orange slice that spans it's colorful energies out to the sky. A jet airplane flies up in the background, below a checkered ribbon swirl.

Ode to the Orange Dream Shake

A rainbow sun shines over a field of giant iridescent sunflowers. A portal door and a path lead you to a relaxing spot with a hammock amongst other wildflowers, a stream, and magical light orbs.

Chakra Garden

A spiral staircase leads down into a cavern area with a peaceful blue pond, ferns, a fairy friend, colorful stones, and two portal doors.

Place of Peace

Behind the Style

I make art because I like inspiring others to find the joy and well-being that can spring about from beginning, and often continuing for life, to gather knowledge of the natural world. Some day you may find it handy to know what those green, brown, multicolored things growing on the ground you step around can provide.

The Earth provides! I have experienced a not-so-well known chronic health condition called interstitial cystitis, and oh my, how it blew! My life became very limited to a bland diet and restrictions of pleasures, so I understand and sympathize if you are in a similar boat.

I am here to shed light on the fact that it's quite likely that everything you need to heal is within shifting your thought patterns and found growing somewhere out of this planet. After 4 years of doctor visits, trying various pharmaceuticals, to then only incorporating natural remedies and mindset shifts, my symptoms remain a thing of the past. I'm currently sticking to the diet, dipping toes outside of it with no repercussions!

My long-term plan is to make many little paintings based on individual species of nature, describing their benefits, things to look out for while foraging for local forest foods, as well as ecological and mindfulness topics. I love sharing these tips, especially to help out those who need it!

In my early days, I spent time drawing in sketch books and playing outside. I enjoyed the required art classes in public school and in 2015, after a college elective intro to painting course, I started casually painting on canvases. Since then, I've slowly improved through my own efforts, and with a snowballing interest, opened an online store in 2019. Then I took the full-time leap this year (2024)! ⛄

I was raised in Southeastern Ohio and have since traveled around the U.S. with seasonal work from a career in hospitality to forest management. Pictures below: two particularly rough days out of the 8 years of rewarding grunt work.

I'll never be done caring for our natural world! 10% of sales from my original artwork (paintings and jewelry) go to Project Learning Tree. This is an award-winning non-profit that teaches youth (preschool-grade 12) about sustainability, green careers, and forest literacy. This is so important for our future! I'm currently residing in Columbus, Ohio, studying individual species and presenting their benefits. I'm so grateful to have this opportunity to go all in!

Our imaginations make life as great or difficult as we perceive. If you perceive colors around you for each of their healing properties, your life will begin to brighten. I have been exploring this with some abstract additions, and often consider this while choosing color schemes for my artwork.

You will see some visionary and surreal art in this mix. I also make aromatherapy jewelry using lava rock beads and digital edits of my own nature photos.

Thank you for checking out this page! The yellow button at the top with the title of the current collection will take you to my other site offering a few prints at a greatly reduced rate for a limited time.

If you have questions about my art, products offered in the online shop, or remedies that worked for my specific condition (IC), please don't hesitate to email me: ruby@rubygreenprints.com
