About the Artist
Ruth Ainsworth (1900–2004) was an Australian printmaker, designer and influential art educator associated with Sydney’s emerging modernist movement. She studied at Julian Ashton’s Sydney Art School under Thea Proctor, alongside artists influenced by Margaret Preston. Renowned for her distinctive linocuts of the late 1920s, Ainsworth later taught at Frensham School in Mittagong, where her work in pottery and weaving contributed to the development of the Sturt Craft Workshops. Her work is represented in the National Gallery of Australia’s collection.
