La Valleries oil painting by Ruth Gilmore Langs, part of the Island Series

THE ISLAND SERIES
All of my series are based on my work in the Island Series. They are the core of my work. Through use of color, texture and shape I create abstract expressionist pieces.

USA no 21, an oil painting by Ruth Gilmore Langs, part of the Free USA Series

FREE: THE USA SERIES
This series was born out of the painful feelings I have after the great recession in 2009. Living in Michigan we were affected deeply. As a way to deal with my feelings I began to paint the USA in abstracted American flags and maps. The large sizes granted me the opportunity to express myself through motion, brushwork, color and shapes.

MOCEAN No5, an oil painting by Ruth Gilmore Langs, part of the MOCEAN Series

THE MOCEAN PAINTINGS
As an avid scuba diver I have always wanted to paint my experience of diving the gorgeous reefs. Last August I had the opportunity to paint and dive off of the Florida Keys. I made an outdoor studio under the Casuarinas and coconut trees, and The MOCEAN Paintings were born. Ocean and emotion make MOCEAN.

NATURE
Sometimes you just have to let your brush paint beauty. I am so inspired by nature, always.
