Ru Chao is an artist, musician and breathwork facilitator from New York City and has made her new home in Arroyo Seco, New Mexico. She attended the art conservatory at SUNY Purchase for Painting & Drawing before transferring out and pursuing a degree in Psychology instead. Although having never completed her Fine Arts degree, Ru has had a lifelong dedication for the arts and has continued to paint throughout her life. She has been exploring abstract painting over the last few years and is attracted to the free flow nature and openness of it.

My work is a form of physical and emotional release of the experiences I embody. To express it onto canvas, I am able to create a world that I hope inspires others, whether invoking thought or feeling. Being able to paint abstractly is a reflection of the freeness I give myself. The space to express without rules is the space that allows me to be fully in my essence. Nature has been a big influence in my art as I find her to be a master teacher of life. She teaches us the universal law that nothing is separate and that our consciousness is all connected in this invisible yet knowing network.
