Welcome to Art by ruby

Hi!  My name is Ruby Cross. I a retired marketing executive who has moved into the wonderful world of art.  Ie always found that being creative is such a fulfilling challenge, whether it a marketing project or an art project.  I have enjoyed painting most of my life but never really took it seriously until my retirement. I found myself experimenting with different types of art and I consider myself a mixed media artist.  I enjoy collage art, altered art, especially dominos, card art and creating unique jewelry.  I feel like Ie discovered a whole new, creative world!  It has all turned into a very exciting and fun business selling my art projects through my website, ebay and private commissions.

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Bruce, for 27 years and we enjoy our retirement home on Lake Conroe in Texas that we share with our three Chihuahuas, Sammy Jo, Katy Sue and Gretchen.  Bruce has been part of the many stages of my art world I thank him for the hundreds of dominos he has drilled for my pendants!

In addition to all my art projects, I love spending time with my grandchildren, Shynelle, Corey and Jade. Grandchildren are such a blessing!

You can see a full array of my artwork on my website.
