# Navegar

"To navigate" - and this painting does exactly that, placing a boat-like form at the intersection of warm amber and deep blue. The spiral that anchors the composition is a recurring symbol in Ruiz's work, suggesting both the coiling of water and the cyclical nature of journeys. Born in Colombia and raised in New York, Ruiz has always understood water as something crossed, something between one life and another.

“All work, when done with love and compassion, becomes a bridge to our shared humanity, bringing joy and light to life’s daily challenges.”

Inspired by nature and the world of dreams, her imagery often centers on water and boats as metaphors for life’s journeys. Ruiz’s process embraces the experimental nature of printmaking, layering texture and pigment to create luminous, tactile surfaces.

Born in Cali, Colombia, and raised in New York, she earned her BA, MA, and MFA from the University of California, Berkeley. Her work is represented in numerous public and private collections, including the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, UC Berkeley’s Environmental Design Library, and Mills College Special Collections.
