Ruth Schembri was born in Zebbug, Malta.  At the early age of six, she started taking classes in drawing and painting at De La Salle School of Commerce, mostly under the artistic guidance and expertise of Anton Calleja.

The most dramatic development in her art, however, occurred in the last five years where she made the conscious decision to give her all to nurture her artistic calling.  Over the years, she has experimented with many different techniques, styles and media and draws inspiration from many artists like Anton Calleja, John Grima, Bernard Vogel, Pam Carter and Shirley Trevena.

Ruth has been living in Dubai for the past eight years.  She teaches watercolour in the two main Art Schools in Dubai, namely DUCTAC and DIAC.   She has taken part in a number of collective exhibitions and had her first solo exhibition Chromatic Inspirations last June in Dubai.  Her work is displayed at Vee Gee Bee Art Gallery, Malta and Art Attack Gallery, Dubai and can be viewed on their respective websites: www.vgb.com.mt and www.artattackgallery.net
