My name is Erin. I’m an artist and creative director of Erin Ruth Artworks, a website that provides insight into the psychology of artistic expression.

Currently I am showcasing some sketches and paintings done by my granny, Bobbi Giblin. She had a life-long fascination with the Victorian Era. She was obsessed with Victorian fashion and architecture. Bobbi was not only a very talented sketch artist, but she also molded and fired these ladies into porcelain figurines. She hand-painted each figurine and made its clothing. She was truly a creative force, and I will miss her immensely.

Here are some lady busts Bobbi painted in acrylic on wood cutout. I mounted it on a wood plank, and I display it in my kitchen as a reminder of her and how she relentlessly pursued her dream of being a profitable artist.
