©Rut Art portrays intimate portraits that speak, inspire and comfort. The Artist Riëtte Delport resides in the picturesque town of MosselBay about 400km to the east of Cape Town, South Africa. Riëtte draws her inspiration for creating each piece of art from the story of Ruth (Rut in Afrikaans) in the Bible. Ruth was an impeccable woman – loving, kind and full of compassion towards everyone surrounding her. Ruth was loyal and she most of all loved God dearly. Riëtte paints her pieces with the absence of facial features hoping that each person would see something of themselves in the piece. It is with your interpretation that makes each piece of art unique and personal.To add to her repertoire she recently also started to add figures with facial features in her original paintings and has also been commissioned to do detailed self portraits on canvas panels in oil paint for clients.
©Rut draws her inspiration from God, her amazing husband and two wonderful children. She enjoys working on many different types of mediums which includes clay, wood portraits and recently she started painting on furniture. When she is not painting she spends her time with her family, enjoys reading and plays the cello.
Exhibition Gallery
The Yellow Door Gallery and Coffee Shop, in the heart of Mossel Bay, houses the inspiring artist, Ruth’s (Riëtte Delport), paintings.This historic building was built in 1888 and used as a warehouse. In 1918 it was transformed into an isolation hospital for the dreaded flu epidemic that hit the country that year. Miraculously all those who were hospitalized and treated there, were able to survive the disease. The rich history accompanied by Ruth's art is a breathtaking experience. Large open spaces compliments Ruth's handiwork with décor and furniture. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Ruth's passion is to make a difference in people by recovering and healing with each brushstroke and communicative thought-writing. She sees every moment as a valuable opportunity to create, whether it be by her art or the infectious love she has for her family and friends. Her creative heart echoes for others.
