Ruth McCabe's expressive, avant-garde work blends bold forms from her industrial Yorkshire roots with the fragility of Suffolk's changing coastline. Inspired by abstraction, nature, and her evolving relationship with the North Sea, her paintings evoke a deep sense of place and atmosphere.

“Taking a Long View” Original watercolour painting by Ruth McCabe. A serene, contemplative response to the view from a hillside over moorland. Painted in loose, layered contemporary watercolour.

The Suffolk coast in summer comes to life in this sunny oil painting, where golden sands, rocks, and bright skies set the scene. Two small boats rest high and dry on the beach, patiently awaiting their next journey, evoking a quiet sense of seaside charm.
