Kia ora, my name is Ruth Hickman-Goodall and welcome to my website! Painting, Sculpture, Textiles and Art Education are all part of my artistic process, with paintings and Threadlings available for purchase.  Paintings investigate pictorial space through painterly and geometric abstraction, questioning our relationships with the natural world and the structures we put in place to separate ourselves from the elements. Threadlings are unique characters lovingly handmade from upcycled materials. T
