| Kendal Ruggles is a Vancouver born artist now residing in the south of France. She is an emerging autodidacte artist. |
| As she grew up in a small rural community overlooking the Pacific Ocean she has always loved the ocean and the magnificent sunrises and sunsets reflected in the ocean waves. |
| Now she lives in a small village of vignerons and has developed an appreciation for the beautiful landscape surrounding her. |
| She began painting the ocean and skies in a realistic style and now enjoys experimenting with mixed media in a more abstract manner. |
| "I am fortunate to have been surrounded by beautiful laandscapes all my life. It is important for me to live close to nature and experience the changing seasons. My work is a reflection of how I interpret what I see. It is for the viewer to imagine the same image from their perspective." |
