“My time at AUB inspired creativity and gave me the freedom to experiment with a wide range of media, helping me to find my creative voice and understand the progression opportunities available within the creative industries.”

Watch the video to see Ruth's full interview.

Following her first school visit to AUB, Ruth went on to study a Foundation Diploma, a BA (Hons) in Photography, and an MA in Fine Art, all at the university.

She later returned to work at AUB, continuing her connection with the creative community that helped shape her career.

The Summer Shows continue to inspire the next generation of creatives, offering young people a chance to experience the breadth of work on display and explore the possibilities of creative education and careers.
