Biography
Irene Ruddock's love of beauty, color, and light enable her to express herself through oil, pastel, acrylic or watercolor paintings. 'Her means of creative expression evoke feelings of peaceful tranquility. Irene says of her work, "I try to capture an essence of light, happiness, and serenity in my paintings. The name Irene means peace, so I attempt to impart my love for the beauty of nature in a peaceful and serene way."

Ms. Ruddock paints what she loves. Long Island scenes are a favorite such as the ocean in the Hamptons or the vineyards of the North Fork. While living in 'Manhattan, she painted many scenes of Central Park and city cafes.
