Ruth Squibb

South African 1928-2012 


Ruth Squibb was born in Portsmouth, England in 1928. Her father served with the Admiralty, which took the family to Hong Kong prior to World War II. They then moved to South Africa and Squibb completed her schooling in Johannesburg. She was an Impressionistic painter who portrayed her subjects without any romanticization. Squibb would work on the initial stages of her paintings en plein air and finish them later in her studio.
