Behind the Front Door was able to connect with Ruby and have a candid conversation about her work, her life and her plans.
Let's talk about how you got started, what was the process like for you? When and why did you start playing?
RM: My love for art started very young. I went to a Waldorf school that taught its students to see the beauty in the world through art, history and music so while there I sang in the choir, acted on stage, learned to play numerous instruments and saw the world as my canvas at a very young age. When I left, I was thrown into a more business oriented school that didn't focus on that beauty and that made me so sad and even a bit confused, however, this is where I focused on my writing and still took acting classes in the drama department. This is where my strength in writing comes from so I’m forever thankful for that. The process to being where I am at has been a lifelong one but one that I wouldn't change because these two polar opposite environments gave me so much strength in music, art, drama and writing: The necessities of my life!
I started becoming so involved in art because I found that I express myself better
