My oil painting portfolio showcases various original works created and inspired by my life journey.
I paint mostly with my fingers with thick textured layers of oil paint and explore colour as a key feature of my work. I also use palette knives. I take commissions – please enquire.
To enquire further about any of my listed Original Paintings or to arrange a private viewing please email me: ruthmoloneyart@gmail.com

Phoenix Stag – Original Oil on canvas 20×24″ SOLD
“All good things are wild and free” – Henry David Thoreau. Walking among the wild deer in the Phoenix Park is just one of the many joys of living close to Europe’s largest urban park.
