Ruth-Anne Siegel

Artist Statement

Ruth-Anne Siegel channels her graphic design experience in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area into color-driven works that transform personal experiences into visual expression.

Shaped by synesthesia, her artistic approach establishes color as the foundation of her creative practice and process-led discovery. Siegel creates art that reflects her experience of motherhood—intuitively responding to chaos and change, drawing inspiration from life's beautiful disorder.

Siegel holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her education includes study with Assaf Evron, Gracia Melanson, Molly Zuckerman-Hartung, and Richard Merkin.



She has served as associate director of A.Space Gallery in Menlo Park, CA, and co-chair of Gallery House in Palo Alto, CA. Siegel’s work appears in national and international collections and has been featured on ArtsyShark, in the Piedmont Exedra, and on Silicon Valley ‘Talk Art’ TV. She lives in Northern California.
