About the Artist:
Ruby Silvious is internationally recognized for her innovative approach to art which uses everyday materials as her canvas. She gained recognition for her 363 Days of Tea project, where she transformed emptied-out tea bags into miniature works of art for 363 consecutive days. Ruby has written two books: 363 Days of Tea: A Visual Journal on Used Teabags (Mascot Books, 2016), and Reclaimed Canvas: Reimagining the Familiar (Mascot Books, 2019), showcasing her artistic journey and exquisite use of common materials as art. She has explored commonplace items such as eggshells, leaves, wine corks, vintage envelopes, paper bags, and most recently paper receipts as canvases for her paintings and collages. Ruby wants viewers to keep an open mind and think beyond the boundaries of what they may consider traditional art.
