Ruth Korthof, trained as an engineer, is a Dutch designer of sustainable art.

After moving every couple of years, from Asia to South America and many places in between, she is currently living in Ljubljana with one foot in The Netherlands. The perks of being married to a diplomat. When you move so often there is no room for clutter.

“I love to recycle all kinds of objects into pieces of art, reusing what is commonly thrown out, art that is useful, art that brings joy.”

Her theme is: – Beauty from Brokenness –

“My art helps me to make sense of life. I find solace to my heart, while working with my hands & head. And joy. It gives me so much joy when I see people looking at my art. A smile at their face, the recognition of beauty from brokenness.”
