The World Needs More:
I have 2 quotes that are important to me that I thought of many years ago “Art heals” & “Without Inspiration, there’s only Desperation” I want to spread healing and inspiration through the platform of art helping people to find their light by being inspired by my story and never give up attitude.
WOW Factor:
My Wow factor is I turn a blank canvas into a portrait live at events in ten minutes. A few key events that have helped shape who I am today is having the opportunity to open for Sir Richard Branson in which I painted his portrait upside down (the canvas was upside down) and when I flipped the piece to reveal, the crowd roared - This particular piece was painted in 6 minutes. For me a special moment which also cemented my purpose was having the opportunity to perform at the celebration of Bruce Lee’s 75th anniversary in Hong Kong. Being a martial artist myself, sitting at a table next to Bruce Lee’s wife and daughter to then painting Bruce’s portrait live in front of their eyes is something that will forever be in my heART

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
