RUBY SILVIOUS is a visual artist and graphic designer. Her recent work
includes experimenting on recycled and found materials. On January 3, 2015, she
started a project called 363 Days of Tea, a visual daily
record of her impression of the moment, using the emptied-out tea bag as her
canvas, and altering it to create a new work of art every day for 363 days. She
draws, paints, prints and collages moody, evocative and sometimes whimsical art
on used teabag paper. She is the author of a newly published coffee table book, 363 Days
of Tea: A Visual Journal on Used Teabags. Silvious was
educated in the U.S., Europe and Asia; she currently lives in New York's Hudson
Valley. Her art is exhibited internationally, and is featured in public and
private collections. www.rubysilvious.com
